When I adopted my 40 year old cockatoo, Penelope, a couple months ago I was given containers of a generic store brought seed labeled "parrot food". Before I brought her home I visited our pet store and got her some healthy mix that had various pellets and bigger seed and nut selection. I mix a little of each but I have noticed that she never eats the dried corn or the tiny little seeds. She loves to go after these little baked flower looking pieces and the bigger pieces of nuts. I'm concerned that she is not getting a balanced diet. I do offer her fresh fruit and vegetables but in her 40 years this is a first for her so it's coming along slowly. Can I get some advice on brands of food that I might be able to order or get at a decent bird store that would be of interest to her? I hear of people talking about pellets but I see very few in my mix. Should I buy some straight pellets and try mixing them in with her food? I'm at a loss here.
