Spinach, brocolli, carrots, sprouts (or sprouted seed), oranges, apples and grapes are what I generally make sure they have constant supplies of while the parents are rearing the young. Really any good quality fruit and veg is fine, but some are better than others.
Dont go changing their seed / pellet diet much from what you have been doing, as I have found that this can actually annoy the parents more than anything, and causes discomfort in the camp if that makes sense.
Just focus on making sure there is loads of fresh water and fresh fruit and veg.
