'Bakery products' and 'various sugars' would make me pass on these offerings.

I have to say, there are very little fruits or vegetables in them.
I'd just persist with the real vegetables, fruits are not really necessary, but vegetables are better.
Sweetcorn, carrot, mange tout, basil, dill.
He wont eat much, but even just a little is better than those products.

"Various sugars ... milk, milk derivatives ... colouring" All of these give me cause for concern, and that's not looking into the "bakery products". I really wouldn't, lemonora. Fresh veggies are the best with frozen being second best alternative. You will need to be persistent and you will probably waste a lot. Try sprouting his own seed as well, feed it to him just as the little tails start to emerge, to start with - he should recognise these as food.

Try serving it up in all different ways. My guys seem to prefer chunks and don't go for the "chop" that is spruiked on almost all parrot sites, but others seem to enjoy this, or maybe they just like picking out the bits they like the most and making it look like they eat a lot.

I used to sit in front of Bailey, eating carrot, broccoli and all sorts. I’d chew loudly and making hmmmm noises. He couldn’t resist and loved veg after that. Sweetcorn too

Agree with what others have said, would really make those items a 'no-no'. I believe in 'natural is best' too. We all have likes and dislikes, your birdie will like some things and not others, favourites are herbs like basil, crunchie stuff like celery and carrot. Mine love mashed up hard boiled egg yolk with sweetcorn.
I know you want to give the best to your little friend, but do check and ask before wasting your pennies on things that wouldn't be any good, that's my advice.
