Mix it with a very small amt of plain oatmeal made with mashed bananas and apples. Test it without the med and see if she likes it. Then keep track of how much you put in in case she doesn't eat it.
When my bird had to take an insane amount of lactulose and milk thistle (due to a liver issue that she no longer has), I also found that bits of Mini Nilla Wafers worked (desperate times--I know they aren't ideal but they worked....) I got a box of the MINI ones and cut each cookie into 1/4s using a sharp knife. I didn't put all of the dose on 1/4 , so it often ended up taking closer to 1/2 of a MINI nilla wafer---put it on and rubbed it all over ONE SIDE- then handed it to the bird with the normal/undosed side facing up) When I FIRST started this, she would only eat it if the medicine was sandwiched between 2 1/4 bits of the wafer, but over time, she would take just one side...she did occasionally try to eat around the meds, which was problematic.
Sometimes, raspberries worked too (in the hole). If you use any fruit without a hole (like grapes), you will need to create a place to trap the medicine--I make hash marks in things like apples (with limited suceess) and with grapes, I cut them in half and removed the seed portion- hiding the meds in that hole.
Cooked noodles with a hole down the middle can also work, but it tends to drain out one side, so you will kind of want to coat the noodles' insides on a plate so that you can reuse what drips out before giving it to the bird. I know that birds shouldn't eat food like this all of the time, but when I first got my bird and she needed meds, this was all I could do.
If you can find Organic Alexia sweet potato fries (frozen) those were THE BEST because they were orange and matched the color of her medicine--MY bird was very aware of the medicine's presence in many things if the color looked odd. I didn't give her the whole fry...I would cut them into smaller pieces and then sliced 1/2 way through the fry vertically--that is where I hid the medicine. Then I closed the slit and it absorbed into the sweet potato inside. I baked about 10 fries at a time (because some would usually get too burned to use) and I would store them in a bag in the fridge for up to 3 days-I microwaved them just slightly before giving them to her so that they were a bit warm but DO CHECK FOR HOT SPOTS----THEY CONTAIN A BIT OF OIL SO THEY CAN BE VERY HOT AND THAT IS BAD LOL.
I KNOW SALTY/FATTY things aren't good for birds, but these aren't very fatty or salty and I didn't give her entire fries (the vet said getting the meds down should be top priority and that the damage of not giving it would be bigger than giving it on reasonably acceptable human food). I did the math and nutritionally, they aren't THAT salty or fatty, especially when a serving is MUCH larger than what your bird would be getting. The fat in seeds easily exceeds the fat in these and the salt isn't as high as something else like a chip. At the end of the day, it worked, because her liver healed.
Also, if hiding in an object, clean the cage grate and liner well, in case the food it tossed and you have to retry.
Sometimes, pretending to pull things out of chip bags also increased my bird's interest, but that trick only worked 1-2 times lol.
Prepare to waste medicine (call your vet when you are running low and explain why)--- it will happen--I often had to use an assortment of foods in one session just to complete the dose.
Also, find out what happens if your dose is slightly higher or slightly lower than recommended-- call the vet and see how spot-on you have to be because it does get tricky. That is why you shouldn't deliver the whole dose on one item, in case the bird rejects it, or takes 2 bites and tosses the rest.
