Pellet trick
This sounds weird, but it seems to work. Yesterday we went to the SPCA and adopted a budgie (more on that later). The man who helped us was very knowledgeable about birds and I mentioned that I was trying to turn Muffin onto pellets. Our vet recommended Harrison's or Zupreem, so I thought I would try Zupreem first. Muffin wasn't showing any interest in the pellets at all despite mixing up the amounts or putting it in a treat cup. The counsellor suggested putting the pellets on a towel and snapping them in half with a fingernail.
I tried it last night and this morning, taking a pellet and then breaking it up with one big snap and lo and behold, Muffin ate them both. I thought the first time was just a fluke :-D
