I think this would be fine to give as a once in a while treat, especially if Princess enjoys it! Sometimes birds can be a bit picky with new items, so you may need to offer it once or twice before she shows any interest in it. As long as the pellets remain her main diet, this should be great as a treat!

I am not sure what foods you have available in your area but my favorites are Lafeber Nutri-Berries/ Avi-Cakes and Mazuri small bird feed: https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/bird-food/classic-nutri-berries/ https://lafeber.com/pet-birds/bird-food/avi-cakes/ http://www.mazuri.com/mazurismallbirdmaintenance-2.5lb.aspx Fruits, vegetables and greens should account for approximately 20 - 25% of the daily diet. Avocado is reported to be potentially toxic so avoid feeding this. Fruits and vegetables must be washed thoroughly to remove chemicals. Cut them into manageable pieces depending on the size of the bird. It is not necessary to take the skin off. Offer fruits and vegetables in a separate dish. If your bird appears to develop a particular fancy for one food item, reduce its volume or stop feeding it temporarily to promote the eating of other foods. Treat your bird like a small child; offer a small piece of a variety of food items daily and never stop trying. Hope this answers your que

Millet spray makes a great addition to Cheeko's diet, but the main food in the cage should be a good quality seed mix for cockatiels/parakeets. This will contain many different types of seed in a balance to provide appropriate nutrition. I would have this and clean water available at all times. Small pieces of fruit can also be used as treats, and cuttlefish can make good toys to help with calcium balance.

If the food is full of mouse droppings it is best to purchase new food ASAP. While treats can be given, they are not a balanced diet, and a new food should be purchased and given as soon as possible to avoid any illness or GI upset. In the future, placing their food in an airtight storage container made from plastic can help prevent rodents from getting to it.
