I want her to live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............

[Isabella]

My lil' girl I love so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so much isn't eating the healthiest. I want her to live as long as possible. She's only eating seeds and spray millets. I've tried to get her to eat fruit and vegies. She's had corn but I think she got sick from that. Any ideas for even the pickiest eat in bird history? I need help! I WANT HER TO LIVE!!!!!!!

most people run into the problem that they don't wanna eat what we think is good for them - LOL, just think about kids!

anyways, you could try to take out her seeds for dinner time and offer fresh veggies instead - cut them up, grate the carrot etc. - try different ways of presenting the food.

also, try making birdie bread - they usually go for that as it has a little sweet taste to it, but it also contains a lot of important veggies.

Birdie bread for amateur bakers - BirdBoard.Com

the key to changing the diet is often patience.

I have the hardest time getting Pita to eat his vegies. He loves corn, and will pick it all out, no matter how I mix it.

Bee is right....make the birdy bread. I usually always give him birdy bread, I just mix it with different thing, but at least I know he's getting good stuff. Today I mixed it up with a sweet potatoe.....sometimes I mix it with apple sauce, oatmeal, whatever I know he likes.

Fresh fruit is good as well. Good luck
