If you have a bird that won’t even try pellet, you might
want to use a Coffee Grinder (that will teach him).
Take the ground PELLET and sprinkle this over their regular
food. When s/he gets use to the taste you
might have success. The grinder I use
was super cheap at about $14.00 or so. It gets the job done. The pellets turn into a fine powder that
resembles handfeeding formula.
I use a hard type pellet that my birds like to “crack”.
