[Jasper17/9]

I was feeding the shamas, mealworms and Jasper flew over and took one and started to eat it. Since then, Jasper always ask for one whenever I am feeding the shama.

This has probably been asked and answered, but, how much should you feed a day?

Today Freddie's diet has consisted of:
Broccoli in the morning
Pellets in the buffet ball
Broccoli, carrot, chilli

All of it has been spread thoroughly throughout the day but I've got a few carrots and some broccoli left over which I am thinking of giving him tonight. Is that a good idea or too much? I don't want to waste it, but obviously that's not the first priority.

I am trying to vary it each day, and I'm going to start him on the chop/mash as soon as I've got the ingredients...

Yeah there would be no harm giving him some tonight, I don't really limit the amount of veg, pulses, pellets etc, only things I do limit are fruit and seed

I really appreciate your effort and all if the wonderful information
but you missed out how make our birds eat such food
as my parrot doesn't eat anything other than sunflower seeds
and a peanut a week ( more than that she could have dierhea)
help me help her please

[lizduncan]

I eat things myself and then she always wants a bit 

Remove all sunflower seeds from the cage after breakfast then there is no option other than to try other things. Try introducing sweet fruit first like grapes (only  couple a day though) and move onto other things. Have you thought about getting a low sunflower seed mix to start with because this would be a lot healthier than her current diet.
