Hi all,

I've got a pair of very stubborn parakeets that won't eat anything but
seed. The first two I had converted over to pellets pretty easily and
would eat a variety of veggies. These two snub their noses at
everything other than their junk seed and one is starting to show signs
of vitamin A deficiency. They're both about a year old and I got them
as a birthday present when they were about 4 months old so they were
already on seed.

Any help? Mixing the seed doesn't seem to work. If I take it all out
and put in the pellets, they won't eat. They ignore any other food like
cereal, cooked spaghetti (I used to have a 'keet that would beg for
spaghetti), veggies, etc. I've tried the Nutraberries but I have to
crumble them up for them to eat it. The Pretty Bird pellets weren't a
big hit and they currently are trying the Roundybush crumbles. *sigh*

And how long does it take to hand tame a parakeet? These guys are
rather resistant to that as well, little buggers.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Deb
