Help Me! My Parrot Won’t Eat Anything Except Seeds or Pellets
How to Easily Introduce New Foods to Your Parrot
Some parrots are weaned to a diet that is basically all seed or all pellets.

Red Front Macaw Parrot
I have a Red Front Macaw… fairly rare and usually NOT listed anywhere, so don’t feel too bad!
Depending on which source you rely on, Red Fronts are either the largest of the mini-macaws or the smallest of the full-size macaws.
