my cockatiel refuses to eat anything buy seeds

Hello, i have a cockatiel for 5 years now and i have been trying to teach him to eat fruits and vegies but he refuses to touch it. if u guys have any ideas how i should make him eat somthing else but seeds i will be very thankful

Try cutting the fruit and vegetables in smaller pieces and continue to offer it to your Cockatiel and eventually it will eat them.Try offering it to her/him before offering any other food when it is the hungriest.Leave it for sometime then remove and offer other food.Soon it will get used to the fruits and vegetable as part of it's diet.Good luck I hope this helps.

actually i have tried this already like a year ago and it didnt help he didnt touch the vegies at all its very frustrating because my last teil ate everything and i really enjoyed it...

Well each bird is different you still have to keep trying and don't give up.Have you tried sprouts for him?

well i will defintely try the sprouts,and i have another question,since i dont have so much time to play with him should i buy another cockatiel ?
will they get along?my cockatiel is trained he knows few things and my concern is that if i get another cockatiel he will not be able to do his tricks again.

Getting another Cockatiel does guarantee that they will bond and they may bond to one another and you may have one protective of the other unless you kept them in a seperate cage.But make sure you quarantine them in seperate rooms for 30 days.I wish you luck with whatever you.
