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.

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.

Smile Re: my cockatiel refuses to eat anything buy seeds

Hello there! Sometimes, once a bird is a little bit older, it is very difficult
to try to introduce new foods, but don't stop trying! We also had a cockatiel who ate seed and when we tried to switch her over to pellets, as the vet had suggested, she refused to eat. Also try things like hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese and dried fruits. Many times birds will eat dried fruits but not fresh-I think the texture is more pleasing to them. You can find dried fruits in your grocery store and also at local bird shows.

csi
CSI Lasvegas Seasons 1-9 DVD Boxset was an absolute masterpiece. The plots were tight. The subplots even tighter (especially the dynamic of Greg killing a young man in self defense, the emergence of Hodges as an unsung hero, the addition of the ultra-talented Liz Vassey to the cast, the chemistry between Catherine/Keppler and Grissom/Sara.) The miniature killer theme is right up the alley with Hitchcock's finest, and the acting performances put this CSI Lasvegas Seasons 1-9 above all other CSI 1-9 dvd and Law & Order shows. Every single episode during season seven of CSI Lasvegas Seasons 1-9 DVD Boxset was done with the trademark of Bruckheimer and Zuiker's unyielding excellence and class. It was impossible to take your eyes off of the screen, whether you are wondering what the miniature killer will do next, or watch Marg Helgenberger give her best career performance in the episode "Leaving Las Vegas," or the lab techs come within an eyelash of solving the riddle of the miniature killer in "Lab Rats." For fans of this show, thinking back through the episodes, it is just amazing places season seven took us, and the cliffhanger that will lead us all into season 8 of CSI Lasvegas dvdserves as only a small slice of the tasty treats that this show is capable of offering. After all these episodes, it never gets stale or contrived. Every now and then, a show comes along that defines a generation and a genre, much like Seinfeld did for sitcoms during its run, and Star Trek voyager dvd and Twilight Zone did nearly half a century ago for sci-fi/horror. This show is one for the ages.Crime dramas have a history of doing well on television, but nothing has ever had the kind of success of CSI lasvegas dvds: Crime Scene Investigation. When the show first came out, it was groundbreaking. It captured the attention of the American public and changed the face of American prime time crime dramas . Spawning two spin-offs, CSI: New York dvd and CSI: Miami dvd and several similar shows on various networks, the effect of CSI lasvegas 1-9 dvdon prime time crime dramas is unmistakable. CSI dvd boxset follows the mysterious (and sometimes wacky) cases of the Crime Scene Investigation unit in Las Vegas. The key aspects of CSI lasvegas 1-9 are the fascinating forensic and logical deduction techniques that the team uses to track down killers. It's the traditional whodunit concept, but with a high-tech twist. Season nine opens with Warrick Brown's (Gary Dourdan) funeral. Sara (Jorja Fox) returns to the team, and she and Grissom (William Peterson) have several awkward moments before Sara realizes that she can not remain in Vegas. Over the next few episodes of CSI Lasvegas seasons 1-9, Grissom's mood takes a depressive downturn -- is it because of Sara's leaving, Warrick's death, or the change he finds in Lady Heather? Grissom eventually leaves to find Sara, leaving behind more questions than answers.
