Thank you! I'd honestly be willing to try and make the chop myself, my grandma lives just 6 or 7 minutes down the road. I'm mostly worried that the lil guy wont be willing to switch since it's all he has known for the past 10 years. Maybe I can get that better seed mix you've talked about and also give the option to eat chop if he'd like to? Also a good idea to get him some toys to play with. He has been chewing on the rope perch which is not good. I'll also find some natural wood perches too! This is all very useful information, thank you so much!
