Hi, and thank you for this question. If jim was not hand fed as a baby, he will likely never be truly tame. If you feed him pellets rather tnan seeds as his main diet, then things like sunflower seeds can become very effective treats.

I am not sure what foods you have available in your area but my favorites are Lafeber Nutri-Berries/ Avi-Cakes and Mazuri small bird feed: https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/bird-food/classic-nutri-berries/ https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/bird-food/avi-cakes/ http://www.mazuri.com/mazurismallbirdmaintenance-2.5lb.aspx Fruits, vegetables and greens should account for approximately 20 - 25% of the daily diet. Avocado is reported to be potentially toxic so avoid feeding this. Fruits and vegetables must be washed thoroughly to remove chemicals. Cut them into manageable pieces depending on the size of the bird. It is not necessary to take the skin off. Offer fruits and vegetables in a separate dish. If your bird appears to develop a particular fancy for one food item, reduce its volume or stop feeding it temporarily to promote the eating of other foods. Treat your bird like a small child; offer a small piece of a variety of food items daily and never stop trying. Hope this answers your que

Oxbow has the best and highest quality products for small animals.

Birds are like kids and if the toy is more exciting, Skittles may want to spend time playing. Having an area where you feed and medicate him may help with any fear, and giving a favorite special treat after medication may help make the experience more positive for him. If he likes to explore toys, toys that give treats can be filled with his regular food and may encourage him to eat more while still getting to enjoy playing.
