I would get a high quality pellet made for small sized parrots, often labeled as "crumble". I recommend roudybush. A lovebird favourite is apple, broccoli, carrots, kale, parsley, hot peppers, (never too hot, jalapeno is the hottest, try avoiding feeding seeds of the pepper!) cabbage, and spinach. avoid feeding lettuce, especially iceberg as it has little nutritional value. Kale, cabbage and spinach are better alternatives. Make sure all foods are organic, and are free of chemicals such as pesticides. Avoid feeding avocado, alcohol, fruits and with pits (plum, apricot peach etc.), sugars, and very fatty foods. When you get a cuttlebone. powder it and sprinkle some onto your lovebirds vegetables or pellets, to insure your bird is getting proper calcium intake. Always remove uneaten fresh fruits and veggies so they don't get spoiled and give your bird a bacterial or fungal infection. Use separate dishes for fresh fruit or veggies. feed millet in moderation, preferably a treat for training. Hope i helped, if you want more info on lovebird care check out this website.
