A sudden refusal to eat pellets in a parrot can be a serious concern, as birds are very good at hiding illness. It could be due to a change in food, stress, cage environment, or more seriously, an underlying medical issue such as an infection, metabolic disease, or even a foreign body ingestion. Observe for other symptoms like lethargy, fluffed feathers, or changes in droppings. It's crucial to consult with an avian veterinarian promptly to identify the cause and prevent further health decline. Provide fresh water and offer some favorite greens in the meantime.
