I keep sprouting, but bella will not eat them , she will eat 1, then no more. I think i may have one of the fussiest, stubbon for new foods birdie on this forum.

[AshaGrey]

How do you serve them to her?

[karen (bella;s mum)]

Ive tried them on their own, mixed with some mash, on the side of my dinner plate and 

[AshaGrey]

What i do is give my fids their veg, fruit, rice, beans/pulse mix and sprouts all together chopped up and mixed every morning they have great fun foraging though it all and when i want to add new things in because its all mixed up and chopped up small they dont tend to notice!!!! But then all of my birds are a bit piggy with their food 

[lizduncan]

Nico isn't keen either. I disguise them in her mash with a bit of palm oil. She still managed to eat round them though

[geffsgrey]

I generally feed the sprouted seeds on there own, and they eat them ?

[karen (bella;s mum)]

It always makes me so jealous that some of your fids are greedy little guzzlers, bella isnt too fussed, all she really likes is the stalks of broccoli, cauli, mange taut, cabbage, brussels, heavily disguised and apple and grapes, she doesnt like 'new' foods although i do keep trying. And no doubt i will keep on trying

[geffsgrey]

She sounds as if she is getting a good variety anyway, so don't worry too much. 

[karen (bella;s mum)]

If that's what you think Geff then i will stop worrying. Must say after losing all those fluffy white little feathers she looks like a little supermodel

It's not just you Karen, mine are very fussy too  

[karen (bella;s mum)]

I know some members fids are fussy, but i suppose when it's your own bird you think the worst.
