i did research and read that the birds are not supposed to be on a seed only diet, fruits and veggies r suggested, they dont seem to eat things that i have offered, like carrots, celery, lettuce, and apples, do you have any suggestions to other stuff, or maybe is there a kind of special food for breeding birds that i can buy? i need help!!!

Just give them what they like... and give them some privacy. Maybe you should also make sure that you have a male and a female. You have to get them sexed since there is no guaranteed obvious way to tell a male from a female, maybe beak size... but that's not definite. My bird likes bananas by the way... Maybe you could offer your birds bananas.

Keep offering fruit and veggies to them. Birds often shun weird things for a while, but they will probably try them if they're constantly there. I would suggest giving them egg - I often hard boil them, cut them in half, and place them (shell included!) in the cage. My birds love it! Alternatively, mashed up egg supplemented with vitamins and bits of dried fruit is also popular.

if your not sure if the birds are male and female then ask a vet or to save lots of money look it up on the internet. and i dont think they have special food for breeding birds.l

Well if your looking to breed your birds, eggfood is always good for them. Keeps them in top condition and if your breeding birds any bird breeder would tell you that eggfood is very strongly recommended

i have 2 cockatiels. i dont no if it is the same concept, but in order 4 mine to breed they need breeding boxes. ask someone at the petstore. they should no.
ps: i dont think its the food cuz when ine were breeding, they still ate their seed food.
