Oh well then that makes sense. He's probably too set in his ways to change like a little old man . I wasn’t trying to tell you how to feed your tiel, but I know firsthand what can happen and I was just trying to give you a heads up.  I had a tiel live to be 23 years old, but I only had her for the last 6 years of her life. To my knowledge she didn't eat anything but seed and when I had her I didn't know any better either. Alex is 8 years old now and I am still trying new things with her, but she is so stubborn. I feed Alex, Danny, Milton, & Evie together. Evie is only a few months old and she has been eating fruits and veggies all her life so she is always the first to check out the plate. Since she is so "brave" and eats first it sparks everyone else's interest.
