Pellets
My four IRNs have never even seen a pellet. They have a parrot seed mix, fruit and vegetables, cooked rice or pasta, and cereal. My vet said they can eat anything you eat except for chocolate, alcohol, salt, avocado and one other thing I can't remember without looking it up.
After you get an IRN, you will think 30 years is not nearly long enough!

I guess it depends on if the bird has been handraised or not and how long you bond with it before intrucing another mate for him/her.
I have a girl I handraised just over 2 years ago, she is in an aviary now with her potential partner. She has not lost any bond with me at all. I see her everyday but do not always go into the aviary with her. She flies to me on command and flies or climbs around the aviary to what ever side I am on at the time when I am outside. She hasn't formed a strong bond with her potential partner yet, but I am hoping she might change her mind as breeding season rolls in.
Birds are similar to people, each have an individual personality, and we can only generalise on their behaviour and reaction.
