best food?

Hi I have recently been blessed with a 21 year umbrella cockatoo and a 13 year old African grey I was wondering what would be the best food to buy for them the grey had been on cheap parrot food from walmart and the cockatoo on pretty bird.

I feed my Grey Harrison High Potency Coarse Pellets, and my GCC Harrisons Fine. Plus lots of veggies, fruits, grains, chop, mash, etc, etc.

This for both our Cockatoos and Grey (and the conure)......plus some seed/dried fruit/nut mix .....just a big variety of everything. Ours eat dinner with us and have some of everything we're eating (of course, no Chocolate, Avacodos or caffiene) they also get oatmeal with fruit most mornings, and "chop" with fresh veggies added for their dinner....birdie bread for snacks.....I think they actually eat better than we do!

What a wonderful adoption! How did this blessing come to be? Sounds like there must be a story...

I've been moving my older rescued Amazon from seed/nut/pellet mixture to pellets, and it's taking work. Harrison's were a no-go. Zupreem seem to be more appealing, but still not loved. Nevertheless, they get eaten. Then she gets nutriberries stuffed into foraging toys, and servings of chop and chunks of veggies/fruit twice a day. Then throw in the odd french fry or piece of toast from my husband, and that pretty much does it. Same with my Conure: Zupreem pellets, almonds as the favored treat, and fresh stuff (he's still getting used to it).
