hey mavis he is about 4mtnhs old and still has a prob with begging and refuses to eat pellets and only a little seed but mantains a healthy weight with sunflower and alot of fruit and veg which he loves!
Its easy to maintain weight while eating sunflower seeds because they are quite fattening. Does he eat anything other than the fruits, veggies & sunflower seeds? How about eggs? pasta? any cooked or baked foods? What veggies is he eating?
I found a table showing foods rated as great - good - not so good for quakers and these would apply to most birds

I could suggest something that would help him transition to veggies, beanies and get all his vitamins too....., lol.
Philip, I am also in the process of transitioning a Quaker who was fed ONLY sunflower seeds for 20 yrs to a more healthy diet. Today, he found that he liked fresh broccoli, green beans and fresh orange!
I almost forgot to tell you how cute he was- looks like a real little mischief maker-watch out!
