Hi. I realize I'm a few days late on this. Maybe things have gotten better with EngTeach's bird? My blue-front amazon goes through phases when she will eat certain things and not others and then all of a sudden she is willing to eat her carrots again. That is all a matter of catching her on the right week. My personal strategies for introducing new foods or mixes is to use a spoon. She seems to be more willing to eat off a spoon then on a plate or in her bowl sometimes. Once she's tried something on the spoon the she recognizes it in her bowl. May have something to do with her watching my husband and I eat. My second strategy, as you have been advised, is to grind up the veggies and mix with other things. I usually mix it with banana and/or plain yogurt. She especially eats it if I mix the crunchy stuff (granola) in with it. I just didn't see banana or yogurt mentioned yet by you or others. I also mix the veggies with her "smoothies" - just a mixture of fruit, she likes strawberries in smoothies but not whole. Hope this helps a little or that you have found some strategies of your own. They are funny little characters, aren't they?
