Hi all! How much of the veggies you give your tiel' do they actually eat?

Everyday I offer veggies to my bird. I will give him diced carrot, shredded lettuce (red or romaine), spinach, broccoli, and home grown sprouts.

However, it seems that he will only eat just a few mouthfulls at most. I guess I'm a bit concerned that Lucky isn't getting all the vitamins he needs.

Mine will eat it all, they won't leave any what so ever.

I give them: Carrot, Corn, Celery, Spinach, Pumpkin, Broccoli. I also get 5 frozen 1kg bags of diced mixed vegetables for them when I get payed, give them to the 'tiels once cooked, and they love it. :D (they get their veggies everyday - just not a whole 1kg bag obviously, I cook them a bowl full).

It's funny, they hated veggies at first, but I started cooking frozen veggies, put it in front of them and horrah, they started eating them and from there on they won't refuse.

Ronan will eat until he's bursting, Prospero on the other hand is picky picky picky. :rolleyes: However, they both love birdie bread will lots of vegies including peas, corn, broccoli, carrot, & apple. Baby romaine is a big hit too, why even Pro will go for that! I usually thread the green and purple leaf romaine on a skewer with raw carrot and parsley.
