My Congo has been healthy all his life except for two issues. In '21, he and my other bird caught an infection at a boarding place, and recently, he suffered from watery poop. This last time, the vet put him on fluconazole because she found a lot of yeast when she checked him. Now he's fine.

She said I should improve his diet. He gets some Kaytee Fiesta in the morning, and other than that, it's what I eat. Fruit, bits of pasta and pizza, a little meat, eggs, and so on. Can't get him to eat green vegetables. I keep seeing people recommend that, but I have never seen a bird go for it.

Fiesta contains a lot of seeds as well as dried fruit, peanuts, and pellets.

I tried getting him to eat Harrison's High Potency because it's supposed to be a gateway to Harrison's regular pellets. He will literally eat almost nothing until late afternoon if I give him this stuff and nothing else. He hates it.

Is there a pellet out there grey owners have had success with? I don't want to force him to eat Harrison's if he can't stand it.
 
My budgies eat anything that we're eating and drink anything we're drinking. They fly over and steal food off our plates and try to drink out of cans. I shoo them away if it has onions or something else toxic to birds. They also like to lick up grains of salt from our plates. Eating is a very social activity.
 
I don't know why but my CAG loves Harrison's lifetime pepper blend. She loves it to the point she eats every crumb. I stress every crumb. Purchased it on a whim. She's been eating High Potency Coarse since 4 months. Those she nibbles on.
