Hi there, a lot of the people on here feed their birds Harrison's High Potency Coarse pellets. I feed mine Hagen Tropican Sticks, really any decent pellet it better than a seed mix, but if you must feed a seed mix, then Tidymix is the best out of the lot. Have a look in the diet section on how to convert to pellets and lots of other ideas about foods, mash/chop lots of recipes to try. It's a matter of trial and error and just little bits for them to try, pretend to eat it yourself and actually let him see you do it and then sort of half turn away from him, so he thinks he isn't going to get any.....you'll be surprised at how much he will want to try it when he thinks it's yours and not his.
