umm for my babies that were refusing I'v managed to get the ever-refusing birds to try KALE .... I either rip or cut in long ribbons.... it interests them and at first I held it or quite a while during playtime's till they finally tred a nibble here or there... even if just in play. and now they love it. Of course it doesnt mater if its big or small pieces thin or thick after they get used to it but it was more of a fun thing at first in ribbons.
also... you cant just try something different day after day or even every couple days after every couple of days.... sometimes it takes giving the same amount of the same thing day after day week after week before they accept it. Or actually the more smart and nutritional thing would be the same variety of veggies every day afte day. like sayy.... pinch the tops off of brocoli so it looks like seeds. and mix and lay some of the ribbons of kale over the edge of the bowl or tucked around on the bars near where the bird sits usualy, and add some fruit or colrful veggi. but keep it similar and keep it up for a long time and eventaly (some even say it takes years and years before the birds get it... I'v been luck and it took anywhere from 3 weeks with one baby to months for one of my cockatiels to 1 day for one of my quakers) but yes eventually, it will work. You love your babys and your trying what you can and thats what counts the most!
