Have you tried making a small batch of Kitchen Sink??? (found here in the recipe section). Just put all the food (except cooked rice) through a food processor. If they'll go for the rice they are likely to start eating the other foods too!

Or maybe even try birdy bread, using corn bread, with lots of veggies put through the food processor!

Or make omelets or scrambled eggs, with veggies that were put through the food processor.... and eggshells too!

What she said. And good luck, even then.
My little GC conures act like serving anything green is an open attempt to poison them!

Some of the best advice I've read is that parrots are meant to select their food from a variety of choices. I think that's the basis for the success of the "kitchen sink" formulas. If you give them something with lots of different stuff in it, then something is bound to appeal to them. And eventually, even if its by accident, they could end up acquiring a tast for something else in the mix. In the meantime, lots is gonna end up on the floor, walls, perches, cage walls, etc. That's natural parrot behavior too!

Bonita will throw her food out & then stare at it & wait for me to come pick it up & tell her naughty! Then she will start laughing at me. She such a brat. She also like to throw it at the dogs when they pass by. She will actually hold the food in her mouth, wait for one to walk by, then sling it at em. I may try all the stuff you guys said to cause I have a food processor, never use it but I have one. They had it on the tv & I had to have it for some reason, I used it once. Crystal
