Many thanks again to everyone! At first he wouldn't even touch chopped veggies, he didn't know what they were!! For the first few days he only ate grapes, and his pellets (ZuPreem natural, much more vitamin filled than plain old bird seed.)
However now that he's tried some more foods.. his favourite treat is pine nuts, just a few mixed in with his pellets, he loves digging around for them. He will eat grapes all day every day, probably one of the only fresh foods he's familiar with.
It's funny that he doesn't touch bananas or apples, and those are the only two fruits he was offered as treats in his previous home.. guess he didn't like em that much after all.
But as of lately we've discovered that even though he doesn't like chopped carrots or zucchini-- if you shred them and mix them up with warm (cooked) brown rice, he loves it!! He's also had a few nibbles of scrambled eggs(unsalted of course), and shared a couple bites of oatmeal with his daddy(the boyfriend ) I'm very confident however that as time goes on and he gets more comfortable, he'll explore his food options as they're offered.

And yes, he is VERY observant!! It's so silly. When he rides around on my arm he's just looking around at everything, his head barely sits still! He's just always looking at new things, learning about them, he's very curious indeed. He'll be quite mischievous when he starts roaming around on his own, but for now, he prefers to sit in his cage and watch from afar or be taken for a tour on someones arm.
