Cockatiel Question

I know that Cockatiels, in the wold, pretty much only eat grass seed. So the workers at the bird store nearby, Golden Cockatoo, suggested feeding this seed mix, fortified with more Oat Groats on the side:

White Prosto Millet, Safflower Seed, Canary Seed, Oat Groats, Buckwheat, Raisins, Carrots, Papaya, Spinach, Vegetable Oil, Soy Flour, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Oxide, Ferrous Sulfate, Calcium Carbonate, Niacin, Vitamin A Acetate, Copper Sulfate, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Chloride, Thiamine Mininitrate, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Folic Acid, Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin B12 Supplement, Inositol Potassium Chloride, Magnesium Oxiede, Dicalcium Phosphate, Choline Chloride, Mangaous Oxide, Ethylendiamine Dihydrioxide.

Is this okay? I'm wary, but.

This is what my tiels eat as a base diet. I order from mybirdstore.com and this is one of their own mixes BirdBulk13.

Bee Pollen, Canary Grass Seed, White Millet, Niger Seed, Canola Seed, Pecan Pieces, Almond Pieces, pine nuts, Walnut Pieces, Pistachio Meats, Cashew Pieces, Filbert Pieces, Brazil Pieces, Soy Pieces, Soy Beans, Apples, Carrot Granules, Coconut , Orange Peel, Peas, Greed and Red Bell Peppers, Anise Seed, Hemp Seed, Sesame Seed, Banana Chips, Flax Seed, Oat Groats, Celery Stalk & Leaf Dices, Spinach Flakes, Parsley Flakes, Caraway Seed, Poppy Seed, Red Millet, Echinacea Angustifolia Herb, Red Clover Blossoms, Dandelion Leaf, Papaya Leaf, Calendula Flowers, Oat Straw, Alfalfa Leaf, Red Raspberry Leaf, Peppermint Leaf, Thyme Leaf, Rose Hips, Rosemary Leaf, Oil of Anise

I also feed TOPs to them for pellets and they get red raspberry leaf in their water. Then they get nutriberries and fresh foods in a chop mix.

Right now, my cockatiels eat Harrison's Adult Lifetime Fine pellets, Kaylor of Colorado Sweet Harvest (Cockatiel or Parakeet) No Sun seeds and Goldenfeast (Australian Blend or Petite Hookbill Legume) for dry foods.


Currently, I mix Kaylor of Colorado in with Goldenfeast and feed that on one day. The next day they get pellets.



Plus the mash, which is usually made of grains, legumes, vegetables and some fruits. Occasionally I'll also ad spices, supplements or sprouts.


And the occasional cooked eggs.
