I have a 17 yr old macaw who is likewise not fond of her veggies.

I've discovered a few ways mine will eat them: she has eatten cooked carrot, from my chix soup, cooked (soft but not totally mushy) broccoli, and cooked green beans (prev frozen) dipped in turkey gravy. (In all of the above cases, she has turned down very fresh versions of the same veggies.)

She has also eatten cooked corn on the cob, but that doesnt really have any particular nutritional value beyond starch & calories.

I'd say just keep trying different combos of flavors, like trying her on bits of veggies taken out of some warm veggie or chix soup. Do try them warm - mine seems to like that way better.
