I love this story. I had a very loved parrot who died a year ago at the young age of 12 from hypercholesterolemia. He only ate nuts and seeds, refused anything else and he died. He was a wonderful talker, like a history book, he did all my childrens voices, the housekeeper's voice. He was amazing. I miss him alot. As he died, he looked at me and said "hello bird",,my first words to him. These are amaziing birds, a true gift to those who own them, they will keep someone's voice after that person is gone. I have heard such stories about them from other owners.

You might want to know about Lafeber's nutra-berries. My Grey used to only eat seeds, until I introduced him to Lafeber's tropical fruit nutra-berries. Now he only eats those. He's about nine years old now, and fit as a fiddle. My vet was really worried about his diet, so he ran some blood tests on him, convinced his diet was going to kill him. The tests all came back with good results, and my vet had to admit that those nutra-berries were a good diet after all.

I know it won't help your late bird, but if you should get another who proves to be a fussy eater, this info could save his life.
