Most Parrots love sprouts of any kind and they are super nutritious AddEmoticons04239 Our guys love sprouted Aduki and Mung beans, lentils and alfalfa sprouts.

THat should do it. Fids are less likely to eat veggies when they have carbs made avail to them. (heehee.. much like their mommy) Unless you turn the veggies into toys! No fid can resist a colorful chewy toy. I think I'll start a foraging thread.
