flavor additives

[quailmother]

i have a starling bird. she’s become picking about her wet high protein kitten food.
there are flavor additives for dog food.
i thought maybe someone who knows poultry and other birds might know of a safe additive. thanks

If I read your post correctly.. You have a pet Starling.

And your pet is getting picky about the feed you give it???
If you view my Avatar, you see that my chickens share cat food with my feral cats outdoors.
If your starling is not eating, I suspect it is not hungry. I would not offer any types of additives. Cat food, or dog food is a complete nutritional food,
Additives may contain undesirable things like salt, sugar, or even too large of quantity of vitamins.

Thank you. i am trying different brands of kitten food. she likes live mealworms as a treat. she’s active and vocalizing so i think she will be ok. just a little picky.
