Veggies in the morning with added egg (once a week) occasional leftovers like rice, sometimes mixed with oatmeal, cornmeal. I microwave the vegs for about three minutes and let cool. I only use fresh or frozen vegetables. Fruit is a treat only a couple times a week. The vegs are left out until the afternoon and are discarded. I feed seven parrots. They each get about two tablespoons of food on average. Sometimes they eat everything and lick the bowls and seem starved for more. Just as often, they leave most of it alone, just nibbling throughout the day. About 4 pm I give them their pellets, and a mix of dried fruit, nuts (no peanuts, only pistachios, almonds and walnuts). I check their water bowls for debris and change if necessary. The pellets are left overnight. Every week, I fortify their vegs with a tablespoon of red palm nut oil. For treats, the almonds at night and rarely peanuts, which they love to their detriment. Occasionally I give them a few sunflower seeds. They love peanut butter and plain corn flake ice cream cones, sometimes with a treat stuck in the bottom. One of my secrets to get them to eat pellets is to take the leftover pellets each day and put them in a blender, turning them into a cornmeal like powder, which is then mixed with their veggies. They seem to love it.
