Sometimes birds get bored of certain foods. I also heard somewhere that their taste is seasonal, so as the seasons change, some foods lose their appeal. Don't completely go with me on that last bit, but I could've sworn I heard it somewhere recently.

Do you serve it different ways?

I give it n different sizes. N i did give him fresh n frozen but now hes not interested in frozen. Used to be on his gym. But now only will eat in his cage.

I'm not sure why he isn't eating vegetables anymore. I would say season change, but it's spring which means that should start liking it again. Maybe he just isn't in a mood for that type of vegetables you're giving at the moment? Maybe he isn't hungry? Does he eat pellets? That should give him the vitamins that vegetables give. Maybe just a little less though if he isn't eating enough of the pellets.

It looks good! I don't think it's worth worrying if he won't eat vegetables now.

Ahh yea i started buying less. I still provide it. Just buying half as much as i used to.
Used to buy frozen pea/carrot mix, plus snow peas, chinease snow peas, 3 kinds squash, cucumber, 6 kinds peppers, n sime leafy greens, plus fruit. Now i judt buy fruit, snow peas, green beans n 2 kinds peppers. N most of that just to give variety incase he started eating it again.
