Before they have been weaned, cockatiels can eat wheat-bix and other soft foods. After they are weaned, cockatiels can eat anything that adult cockatiels eat. Cockatiels love lettuce! (Not too much - it acts as a laxative in large amounts). Your cockatiel will also enjoy carrot and brocolli.
DO NOT FEED YOUR COCKATIEL AVOCADO OR TOMATO!

∙ 13y agoWell, before you go forcing food down his throat, you have to think of possible reasons why he isn't eating.
Here are a few possible reasons he isn't hungry:
He is stressed out.
He is scared/uncomfortable with his surroundings.
He doesn't like the food you are trying to give him.
He is tired of the food you are giving him.
Here are some tips on getting your little pal to eat:
Try putting small amounts of food in the palm of your hand and have him eat it.
Put a small amount of food in his bowl, but chop up some dry fruits and sprinkle some on top.
Change up his diet a bit (not too much because he might get sick from new food change)
