Not eating veggies?

Suddenly Roscoe has decided that he will not eat his veggies anymore. He is eating everything else fine so I don't think he is sick. I'm wondering if this is a toddler type thing. Just refusing to eat them b/c he can. How do I get him to eat them again. I know he needs them!

Are you giving him a wide variety of rotation?? What my guys eat today and tomorrow they can all of the sudden hate for a month. So I just keep rotating in new variety.

Variety is key. I'm not psychic, nor can I read my birds' minds, so I have no idea from day to day what they'll want to eat. So, I make a mash with all of the things they need and like, make way more than they can eat, and let them pick today's favorites out.

Today they like sweet potatoes, but tomorrow, there is no doubting that they'll hate them.

I try to rotate as much as I can. He doesn't like much for some odd reason. I haven't tried oranges and apples in a while so maybe I can add those back in and see if it gets him interested again.
