A commercial pelleted diet is balanced, healthy and convenient. They can be found in most pet stores or online. Quality brands include Harrison's, Roudybush, Lafeber and Pretty Bird. You can supplement the diet with a small amount of a fortified seed mix, fresh greens and vegetables, cooked grains/beans/pastas and plain rice. Budgies and other birds also enjoy some scrambled egg occasionally.

Feed a good quality pelleted diet (Harrison's, Roudybush, Lafeber, Pretty Bird or Exact) supplemented with a fortified seed mix and fresh greens and vegetables. Provide a cuttlebone or mineral block. Always have fresh water available. Provide an appropriately sized nesting box and suitable nesting material (straw, Aspen shaving, shredded newspaper, etc.).

Thanks for reaching out about Naoki. If providing a wide range of vegetables, beans and pellets, does not need vitamin drops or calcium powder. Fruit should be considered treats as mostly water, fructose and some other nutrients. Good luck.

Most pet stores will carry a balanced diet specific for parrots that offer a complete and balanced diet. You can also offer some fresh fruits and vegetables as an added treat. If you just got your bird home, he may still be adjusting to the new environment and so may be reluctant to be as social. Offering treats may help. If you do see any signs of illness, however, then a vet check up is best.
