I wasn't sure which heading this went under though. :question: I came across this Parrotlet Seed Mix on ebay from Alta Loma Seed Co. in California.--- Amitola Aviary's Custom Parrotlet Mix Has anyone ever tried it? On another note, I've been skimming some of the older posts. I've really enjoyed seeing your videos and photos! :) Sorry, just noticed the heading for Nutrition- drats Can I blame it on a senior moment or not enough coffee yet-IT"S EARLY HERE!

All of us feed a wide variety of other foods to our birds that they get a healthy nutritious balance. Try Broccoli on your little guy they seem to love it.

I've given them chopped up bell peppers, which I think they ate because of the little green beaks. They ate broccoli for the first few days, but then seemed to lose interest in it. I guess I wouldn't want to eat it everyday either. Today, I stuck a few sunflower seeds in cooked sweet potato. Worked like a charm! :24:

I don't know if that would have worked with me. I hated peas!! That looks like a nice seed mix, Pat. It looks similar to Volkman Parrotlet mix which is a nice seed mix too. I'm going to try hiding the sunflower seeds too. I've sprinkled millet on vegetables, that works too. :)

The seed mix caught my eye because of the fruits and vegetables mixed in. I know that the fresh fruits and vegetables are best and I will keep trying, but my little guys were not the least impressed with my "dinosaur eggs". You can also custom order any mix at this place. I'm going to try it.

Cockatiel I live in Pennsylvania My name is Bonnie	My mom tried the same thing with me, I could handle the peas because I drank milk and swallowed them like pills, But when it came to spinach oh yuck I couldn't handle that. Now I love both but as a kid it was awful.
