Re: Gouldians not eating eggfood
try serving it separately perhaps with some finely peeled grated carrot mixed in.

Pity you don't have a canary. The easy way would be to put another bird with them that enjoys eggfood. Canaries are absolute guts.

Re: Gouldians not eating eggfood
I had this problem too... someone suggested mixing millet in with the egg and it worked.
Interestingly all my birds took to shredded greens really well - so I also put the greens right beside the egg/millet mixture on the floor of their cage and that worked too!
