I don’t feed pellets because Celia my Green Cheeked Conure refuses them so I feed this:
Original Nutri-Berries
Tropical Nutri Berries
Sunny Orchard Nutri Berries
El Paso Nutri Berries
Garden Veggie Nutri Berries
Spray Millet
Unsalted Peanuts
Canary Grass
Flaxseed
Kaytee’s Fiesta for Lovebirds and Conures
Dried Fruits(especially papaya, pineapple, and banana)
Wheat grass
Seed sprouts
Boiled egg (smashed with shell on)
Cooked Poultry (call Celia a cannibal but she likes it)
Cooked Fish
Wheat Toast
Cheerios (not honey nut but the original kind)
Carrots
Lettuce
Corn
Foster and Smith International Cooking Feasts for birds (type of cooking diet sold on Foster and Smith .com that includes dried veggies, beans, noodles, and spices that you can cook) and sometimes Beak Appetite too (the same thing)
Fruit Bite Treats “Tropical Treasures” (a brand of papaya treat)
I sprinkle all four varieties of Healthy Toppings (coconut raspberries, apple bits, carrots greens
I think this will be a more tasty and natural way to give celia all her needed nutrients
you tell me though
I feed my birds a mixture of seeds/pellets/fruits/ and a mash made of different beans, veggies, rice, sweet potato, boiled egg, etc.
Everyone has an opinion on nutrition, but healthy variety is key. Looks like you’re fine on that

That looks like a good diet. My eclectus, conure & tiel don’t eat pellets either, mainly cos they’re almost impossible to get hold of here without online ordering.
I would cut the lettuce out, ice burg anyway. The paler the veg, like iceburg lettuce & celery, the less nutrients in them, the more water in them. Red lettuce, rich dark green, brightly colooured fruit & veg are always the best to give them.
Dried fruit isn’t recommended unless you dry it yourself, I can’t remember why ????
Cooked poultry & fish is excellent for them as long as it’s plain cooked, no oils, salt ect added to it.
This is a based eclectus diet except it’s acceptable for conures too. You’ll find a list of other fruits & veg you can offer & some ideas: http://eclectusdiets.com
