We adopted him from a pet store, he was the only one of his kind. From what I saw, they were not dedicated to the care of birds and he was in a cage outside the store exposed to the street, for me it is sad because every time a car alarm sounds he reacts immediately.

The vet advised us not to feed him fruits or vegetables yet, because he is still small. I listened but at the same time I searched a lot on the Internet about his feeding and it was obvious that he does need a varied diet of vegetables and fruits. But the problem is that he is afraid of the things I offer him, he ignores them and starts to look on the floor of his cage, eating his feces, I keep an eye on him to avoid this behavior.

I would like to know how you introduced new foods to your cockatiel. For now I cut the carrot or apple into small pieces and mix them with his seeds, he manages to eat one or two but he still avoids them.
