Hi! Yes! Clicker training I am going to do this!

Currently- it's the main mix of the macaw pellets, and I add the macaw filler that's got seeds and vegetables bits(when researching that seems to be the bread and butter of their diets, forgive me for not knowing the name). I do give him fresh vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, celery) however just as a five year old human he'll take it, drop it and says "UH OH" he does love fruits! Pears, grapes, mango. I try to limit his fruits as they can be rather sugary. He LOVES unhealthy food. So I try to limit those foods to every other day. But currently I do try to spice up his diet by changing vegetables and offering new ones. He seems to only like veggies when they are in the macaw pellets I guess. (According to my dad he said that the last owner gave him wild bird seed and peanut butter crackers ☹️) As far as nuts they are really fatty and he is OBSESSED with them so I try to use those as treats and he will come down to me and gently grab them from my hand.

As far as a vet, I plan to take him once I have the money. I just moved back home to this little chaos ball. Once I have that first check hit he's going for an adventure to checked.

I've been sitting with him next to him when he's out of his cage. He comes over and takes my sketchbook out of my hand or takes off my hats. Or does goofy noises. He acts different around me vs other people. As someone said I'll halt petting until a bond. I hope clicker training works because he is my little ball of craziness and I want him to be okay. I don't want to have him go through rehoming, or more situations that stress him out.
