These are the ingredients in the Golden feast legume blend, much more than seed, and it's all natural. I usually add uncooked quinoa, almond flour (calcium), and lentils to mine. I don't think seeds are bad for birds, as long as they're eating other things too. Maybe let him sit and eat with you at meal times. Perhaps if he sees you eating veggies or something, that will inspire him to eat it too. It's working for me. I notice mine is eating the seeds, but the tiny granules of the other food is getting in his beak as well, which is a good thing.

He also eats the Australia blend too from Goldenfeast, and I've been grinding up pellets for him, so they're more the consistency of seed. Here's the Australian blend.

Anyway, Sprite is REALLY picky as (unfortunately :/ ) he was weaned onto a seed diet. I've been feeding him a mix of the Goldenfeast Petite Hookbill Legume Blend and TOP pellets, of course he prefers the seed mix over the pellets. I really want to try and get him AWAY from seeds completely though. Does anyone give their birds the Goldn'Obles? I would hate to order them and have him hate them. Just wondering if anyone had birds that liked/hated these. Thanks!
