2 years to try vegetables

Post by ann » Mon Feb 13, 2017 11:28 pm

All of my birds get a nice salad mix every day. Elana's salad photos are great inspiration. Anyway, I have 5 gouldians that hatched 2 years ago that have always ignored the fresh greens. Once in a while they might nibble a bit of romaine, but other than that, no interest. Until Sunday, when they demolished the cucumber and ate some broccoli. And today they ate everything! So for anyone who's trying to get their birds to eat greens, don't give up!
2 owls
2 red-faced parrot finches
1 parrot finch hybrid
4 societies
7 gouldians
2 canaries
2 cocker spaniels

I'm so glad to hear that they have finally decided to dig in. It's so good for them.

You mention that they were 'carnivores' (?)) Were they eating meat????

Oops, sorry I missed the joke :wink:

Would love to see the blind babies. How are they all getting along?

ann - glad your birds finally caught on. I wonder what made the difference. You'll have to let us know if they will still be eating everything under the sun in about a week.
My birds will eat romaine and other lettuces, broccoli, spinach, cucumber slices, chickweed, apple slices. Oops, I guess chickweed doesn't belong in this category but it's so plentiful right now that I automatically mentioned it.
