It isn't a bad food, but I wouldn't call it a complete diet. Can you also feed fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits? There's a rather comprehensive list here: http://www.indianringneck.com/forum/vie ... f=3&t=8078

i already add some fresh fruit and such! so far his favorite fruit is cherries and favorite veggie is corn on the cob
i make this kind of salad for my bird full of fruit and veggies it consists of:
corn, pomegranate, oranges, cucumbers
and on occasions i add kale and such but only when its available haha :)
