I have gouldians. What, in your experience, seem to be their absolute favorite fruits/vegetables?
I've tried: spinach, romaine, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, cucumber. (and basil)
Fruits I've tried: clementines, bananas, apples, grapes I think?
The only things they seem to really enjoy are the broccoli and cauliflower. I'm pretty sure they've never touched any fruit.

Re: Vegetables/Fruits Success
My Bengalese have been miffed since I added carrots to their salad. Insulted, even. I'm going to have to cut the carrots because they seem to avoid the entire plate if there are carrots in it.
I can't get my parakeets to touch the stuff. I thought I had them eating it, then they quit. Sometimes I think I must have imagined them ever eating anything non-seed. I'm about to give up and just give them 100% seed again because I don't think they're getting nearly enough to eat with the seed-in-greens trick. They seem to pick out the seed and leave everything else.
None of them will touch any sort of fruit. I've given up on that.
I get a Spring Kale mix or something like that from Costco that (up until I added carrots) the finches just chowed down on like crazy, but the keets just won't eat their veggies.

Turn towards home, and go there. Many overs, over woods and fields, streams and hills, many overs. Just turn towards home. How else would one go there? Perhaps it was a dream, and you have awakened from it. May the earth rise up beneath you, with home in your heart, and your person waiting.

Re: Vegetables/Fruits Success
Sojourner yeah i know, mine don't seem to really care for the carrots at all, i don't know why i'm still bothering.
@ac12 I can't seem to get them into any leafy greens though. I've tried spinach, kale and romaine; left out on the cage floor, chopped finely with eggfood, AND sticking stem-down in a shallow dish of water. No dice. Guess I'll keep trying.
