I 100% agree birdie bread is the way to go

Thank you Rosanna! I also have a cockatiel I recently rescued. She was only on Finch seed and refused everything else but millet. After reading your comment I feel I have a few more adventures to try! Gonna make some birdie bread today!

My cockatiel came on an actually pretty decent seed mix (i.e no sugar or sunflower seeds) so I didn't have any real problems going into my own DIY seed/grain mix. That being said, even he was interested in cooked rice and birdie bread right away. I wonder why you didn't try birdie bread or get him interested in a more variety of food rather than just focusing on seed conversion. Also, if you need for comparison, I found that my cockatiel would only eat one to 1.5 teaspoon a meal if it was seed/pellet mix. That way I could clearly see if he ate all the different seeds/grain. It's funny to see what grains he liked the least from what was left over, lol. If he was really hungry, he'd eat all of it. These days, his mix is 3/4 teaspoon of pellets, 1/4 teaspoon seed mix so the seeds are all gone of course!

Thanks for showing your vulnerability when you don’t always have the solution that works. That’s not an easy thing to do, so kudos to you for your bravery. It will get better. πŸ’œπŸ’•πŸ˜€
