i guess okay? i work all day, but i notice there's always some pellets and seeds under his bowl and looks like he has eaten some. when i'm home he does go to his dishes and eat out of them. bird paradise also gave me a moist/wet mixture for him in the mornings "asian meledy" which they recommend everyday. not sure of everything that's in it...looks like veggies, rice, spices, etc...it's what they gave him there along with their "ultimate blend" mixture (pellets, seeds, dried vegies..etc). he really likes the asian meledy but i ran out this week so i went on-line to get some recipes for something similar. cooked it up and he seems to like it. i put things like brown rice, beans, whole wheat pasta, pureed squash, corn..a few pine nuts, etc...i only leave that in his cage for a little while. i also give him a 1/4 tsp of avian trio with his food everyday. then i give him fresh veggies, fruits,cheerios, nuts, etc. throughout the day. plus if i'm eating something i put him on his table top stand so he can come down and join me if he'd like. i offer him things like sweet mash potatoes which he loves, and everything else that i've read that is healthy for him. i never give him junk food. he's only been with me for a month and i can tell everyday he's getting more comfortable, but i really want to make sure he eats right. his poops look good.

i read the link you sent. thanks! i'm going to print it out later and use those charts and pyriamids as a guide for when i go shopping again.
