Patience is Rewarded

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



All of the strategies mentioned above should be considered and

attempted to encourage your pet bird to accept and consume a wide

variety of table food items.  It cannot be overemphasized that

you must be very persistent and patient with your bird in this

endeavor.  Improving your bird's diet requires a total commitment

on your part.  It may take many, many months to achieve the

desired result, but the effort made and frustration endured will

pay dividends in improved health and a long life for your

companion.
