If the bird won't eat anything except seeds, try making sprouts. They are very nutritious and good for your bird. You can sprout sunflower seeds, mung beans, lentils, wheat, etc. Many birds on seed only diets will go for these. I would gradually try to replace dry seed with sprouts and other food. I feed Zupreme, and I have a picky U2 who only eats the brown pellets - no colored foods are acceptable to her. Over the years, she has gradually given other foods a chance. It takes a long time. I am currently researching regressive weaning in improving avian eating habits...not sure about it yet but will post if I find out something promising.
