Question IRN Treats

Hi everyone, I have a 3 year old Female IRN. Can anyone tell me what would be the best treat for her excluding Sunflower seeds because she dosn't like it.

Wow, no sunflower seeds? I have heard that some people use pieces of pine nuts for their birds. What about safflower seeds? You could even try a nibble of millet spray.

My ringneck loves Avicakes, nutriberries, nutri meal bars, nutri-popcorn (all by lafabers). Check them out.

Can't forget chicken, broccoli, soybeans, or green beans

Yes I am stalking you now.

My alex loves peas
and pasta...

Just keep trying...get variety of foods on one plate and see which one it goes for first..and eats all of.

That's a good way to test :P

My ringies will eat most anything! This week we are loving baby Fiji apples and fresh peanuts....but quite honestly, even a piece of cork or yucca seem like a prize to these two. I love these guys, they are so easy (to please, not necessarily to train).
