Then give the bird a premium pellet. Kaytee, Pretty Bird, etc are the
McDonalds of pellets. Scenic and Tropican, not only are premium
pellets but, you can actually buy them for less than Kaytee, Pretty
Bird, etc. BTW your son's AG needs to be feed many other foods
(fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, etc than just bulk pellets.

Before you start buying other foods for your son's CAG, At least check out
the Harrison's Bird Foods. It caqme highly recommended by two vets in my
neck of the woods because it is organic, and thus kinda expensive. You only
use a very small amount twice a day.
Go to their web site at http://www.harrisonsbirdfood.com, and read up about
their foods, or ask your Vet to give you their opinion of Harrison's.
I have no stake in this company what so ever, but I was very impressed with
their foods. In fact, I tried to convert my 10 year old CAG from his KayTee
Rainbow Chunky for about one month, but he would not accept
it,unfortunately, so he is back on the Rainbow Chunky again. I have been
told that KayTee by very experienced CAG owners that this is all they feed
their birds, and supplement with fresh organic fruits and vegetables, so
that is what he is back too.
Good luck with the food, and happy holidays!
