Fruit and vegetables are essential (and not cheap!)
The percentage you give to your bird will depend on the species.
I ensure that at least 40% of the diet is composed of fresh ingredients. i also give mine walnuts, pecans,pistachios and a small amount of seed. mine also love scrambled or hard boiled egg.
Fruits and vegetables provide an extensive array of vitamins and minerals. Additionally, they are low in fats. Always wash all the produce you feed your bird thoroughly.
