RE: Healthy diet for African Grey
What you need to make is a chop. A chop is a giant mixture of many different fruits and veggies and nuts. You chop them up (it's easier using a blender at first, then a food processor when he begins to accept the taste of the chop) into pieces too small for him to pick out. You coat the seeds or whatever he likes to eat with the chop, and he is forced to eat it. It may take a while for him to adjust to it, but please try. Some good things to include in a chop:
Almonds
Peppers
Berries
Apples
Oats
Kale/ fresh dark, leafy greens
Pretty much anything except avocado and rhubarb.

If you're unsure of the safety of a food, please Google it and you'll find MANY lists that will address your issue.

Another option is buying vitamin drops. They come in a small white bottle in pet stores (possibly even Walmart), and you add them to his food and water. While it isn't the best option, it is a good way to provide nutrition to your bird when they refuse fresh foods. I am currently using these as I transition my lovebird to fresh foods from a seed diet.

It takes a long time, and lots of patience. When he is hungry, he will eat.
