I Never once said sun conures don't eat what you have listed. Nor did i once say i did not give my conure said foods. Nor did i say they would become Obease from eating those foods I think its fantastic that you have great knowledge to share. Im pretty sure that your so dramatic your not reading anything im saying. Im also pretty sure i know what my conure turns his nose up to better then you do. I do give my conure veggies and the like... never said i didnt. so im not sure where your getting that from. What i did say is that i use a proven good base food for my conure, so im assured hes getting the vitamins he needs and i use fresh stuff to supplement that instead of visa versa. WItch i think is the point Wolf brought up that he disagrees with me on, and thats fine. You have no right and are way off base saying im starving my bird. He is behond spoiled and very well fed and taken care of. I do have an open mind when you come at me with something constructive, as wolf did. we disagree, but thats ok... i dont think hes a bird torturer for his opinion. and mine is of that in a perfect world where my bird eats what i give him and not what he likes then yes Wolfs way is better.
This is what you wrote about your bird's diet:
" I mean i know if i had a perfect sun conure menu that Niko would eat all the time and finish all his vegies, id Totally agree. but chances are he wouldn't." And " i know what my conure turns his nose up to better then you do"
What I said was that yes, sun conures would eat a perfect sun conure menu and, although they might start as 'turning their nose up', they all do in the beginning but end up eating the same healthy stuff they rejected. Only it takes time... and that doesn't mean the three or four months you've had your bird.
And no, you are not giving a "proven good base food" because nobody has ever proven that pellets are good. You might believe they are and that's your right but it's most definitely not 'proven'.
Then "I do have an open mind when you come at me with something constructive, as wolf did." but, in reality, this contradicts this other statement "I choose to give my bird a pellet based diet supplemented by fruits and veggies.and thats not going to change" You either have an open mind and do research based on the argument your interlocutor gives you or don't and say that you are not going to change, regardless.
But I am done with you. I am sorry that I (and everybody else which posted they did not agree with your diet) could not make you reconsider or even look into the subject in more depth because I sincerely believe your bird is not getting the best but, unfortunately, the law says that your bird is your property and that you can do whatever you want with it so that's that for him and this argument.
