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.

My Gouldians like there broccoli,cauliflower and spinach.
Your right they don't really eat there fruit.
My Gouldians like grasses

My finches

Mine do not like fruits......They like broccoli and carrots with boiled eggs.

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.

I give mine greens like lettuce and similar that my grocer gives me.

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.
