Question Food..

I have a 4 month old hand feed budgie named Petie. And I want to get him to start eating other things besides seeds. So what? And how? ~Thanks~

First, mix new foods in with his seed.
Try: a little bit of yogurt, crush up some apple, peas, cooked pasta, crushed nuts...after a few days use a little less seed.
I have done this with many budgies and it seems to work although most ar content with a good seed mixture with vitamines in it already.

Good luck!
