Pellets haven't arrived from Petsmart's online ordering yet so the Green Cheek Conure has been pretty much living on fresh fruit, vegetables and some seeds since he came here. I've only had experience with lovebirds in the past (they never liked fruit) so I'm still not certain how much fruit I should offer vs how much vegetables should be offered. I've been offering him 1-2 different kinds of fruit a day and the rest has been 3-4 different vegetables like snap peas, broccoli, fresh ginger, zucchini etc.
Fruit I've offered is a Macintosh apple, fresh cranberries (big hit) and kiwis. Now I kind of assume the amount of fruit you offer also depends on the natural sugar content of the fruit, like if one had higher sugar you'd offer less but if you had a lower sugar fruit (cranberries aren't too high in natural sugars last I checked) you could offer more.
