Fresh food is important for your parrot no matter what species
you  have.  This absolutely  includes our small birds like the
budgies (aka parakeets) and cockatiels.  There are two pics of
one of my breeder Nanday Conures and one of my baby  umbrellas
eating their  fresh food.  On this day they got a mix of vege-
table made  pasta (called Wacky-Mac), and  a  mixed  vegetable
with added broccoli.  There  was also some plain  Cheerios and
Raisin Bran mixed in.

Take a close look at the bowls.  While most people only have a
bird or two, I have many of  them and many cages too.  Because
of time I  feed their fresh food  from paper bowls  instead of
regular bowls  that have to  be washed every day.  Once  their
fresh food  is all eaten, they usually tip  the bowl  over and
play with it and shred it giving them a temporary "toy"  until
the next day.
