How much food should I give my parrot daily?

Should I supplement this food with anything else?

Troubleshooting
Bird refuses to eat certain components (e.g., pellets, vegetables)
Ensure the bird is not selectively eating only preferred items. If selective feeding persists, consider offering a smaller portion initially or gently mixing ingredients to encourage sampling. Observe your bird's overall health and weight; if concerned, consult an avian veterinarian.
Food appears stale or has lost freshness
Ensure the tub is properly sealed after each use. Store in a cool, dry location away from humidity and direct sunlight. Check the expiry date. If freshness is a persistent issue despite proper storage, consider a different batch or supplier.
Bird seems lethargic or unwell after changing food
A sudden change in diet can sometimes cause digestive upset. Ensure the transition is gradual if introducing this food to a bird accustomed to a different diet. If symptoms persist, discontinue use and consult an avian veterinarian immediately.
