Pretty much anything except chocolate, caffeine, booze, avocado and rhubarb leaves is acceptable as a treat. My conures love anything big enough to hold and the one quaker breeder I know says her birds are the same. Fruit, carrots and even bread smeared with a bit of peanut butter is great treat. Some birds love digging into those raisin boxes that kids get for snacks and Halloween. Not only can they eat the insides it's got a fun outside to shred! Some folks string those on a shoelace or birdy kabob as an edible toy. Some birds love cardboard tubes stuffed with dried fruits and cereal. My cockatiels go nuts for fruit loops and cheerios strung on a shoelace. Spray millet is a traditional treat as are peanuts. Peanuts and sunflower seeds should be fed in moderation due to their high fat contents. Also peanut shells can contain a fungus that makes many birds sick. That's why I feed my guys human grade peanuts only.
Good luck! Sounds like your guy is spoiled well! ^.^

Millet Spray is a great treat for any bird. It is a sweet seed on a stick, and Quakers love to hold the stick and eat the seeds. Also, grapes, apples, oranges, bananas, and the Quaker that I had also loved chicken and Bean with Bacon Soup.
Unsalted peanuts in the shells are also a great treat.

Most fruits and veggies are good for birds. They can't have avacodo or chocolate. It will kill them. When giving fruits try not to give them seeds. Birds also enjoy nuts, especially in the shell. A quaker may enjoy peanuts in the shell but make sure to get unsalted ones. Too much salt is bad for them.

How do you get him out of the cage - perhaps he's scared in case you grab him? If he bites you once you attempt to convenience him, you're literally not comforting him. a similar as with kisses. What do you do at the same time as he bites you? i might want to attempt to the contact someone who will strengthen parrots and ask their suggestion; except that, locate out what the parrot likes, no longer what you imagine it likes - perhaps a particular take care of. enable him come to you. it would want to take a lengthy time period. patience is the foremost.

A pea pod. A cherry. A cob of corn. A pill bottle that is closed and has something in it.

plain low sodium granola bar pieces. Not too many!
Especially Banana or Cinnamon flavor, just not too much but it is a flavorful treat. JUST occasional...

I understand avocados are poisonous to birds, other than that any fruit or vegetable he (or she) likes. Cookies, crackers, etc aren't good for us and they sure aren't good for birds!
