Feeding a cockatiel a varied diet is important for its health and well-being. While seeds are a staple, they should not be the only food in your cockatiel's diet. Here are some alternatives:

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

  • Leafy Greens: Spinach, kale, and romaine lettuce.

  • Vegetables: Carrots, broccoli, peas, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, and squash.

  • Fruits: Apples, bananas, berries, grapes, and melons (remove seeds and pits from fruits).

Grains and Pellets

  • Pellets: Commercially available pellets designed for cockatiels.

  • Cooked Grains: Brown rice, quinoa, barley, and oats.

  • Bread: Whole grain bread in small quantities.

Proteins

  • Legumes: Cooked beans and lentils.

  • Boiled Eggs: A small amount of scrambled or boiled egg (without seasoning).

  • Dried Mealworms: These can be a good source of protein and are usually well-received by birds. Make sure they are specifically marketed as bird food and are free of additives.

Treats and Snacks

  • Millet Sprays: A favorite treat for many cockatiels.

  • Nuts: In small quantities, unsalted and unflavored (e.g., almonds, walnuts, and sunflower seeds).

Tips for Feeding

  • Introduce New Foods Gradually: Cockatiels can be wary of new foods. Introduce them slowly and be patient.

  • Wash All Fruits and Vegetables: Ensure they are clean and free of pesticides.

  • Remove Uneaten Fresh Foods: Fresh foods should be removed after a few hours to prevent spoilage.

  • Avoid Toxic Foods: Avocado, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, and foods high in salt or sugar are harmful to birds.

A varied diet will help keep your cockatiel healthy and happy. Always consult with an avian vet for personalized dietary advice.
