The only thing I've tried with my cresteds is mango. I ate a mango and just scraped off some pulp from the skin. My 1 yr old male definitely was drawn to the smell and licked some of the juice, bit did not devour it as I was hoping. However, this was outside of his cage and he's usually a bit nervous and flighty if he's outside too long. So, anyway, try mango.



Although in all honesty I think any effort to alter behavior in cresteds through strengthening associations may be difficult. They don't seem to be very good learners and although they do seem to have different "dispositions" I'm not sure this is a learned behavior.



Good luck
