Restrict Seeds

                        --------------



Another method of encouraging experimentation with other foods

involves restricting the amount of seeds offered every day.

Estimate the quantity of seeds that your bird will consume

without any restriction in a 24-hour period as accurately as

possible, and then offer only half of this estimated amount each

day.  This ensures that your bird will not starve but should

still be hungry enough to begin to experiment with the table food

items you have offered.
