The book PP recommended is great! and nice to have on hand.
You will find some that differ in their feeding routines. We also have food always available.
Bfst. is a mix of 3 different kinds of pellets, some that require seed get a little seed and micro pellets.
Snack; fruits, veggies, greens, nutraberries etc.
Dinner; Homemade mush or microwave meal; all made with fresh veggies, fruits, grains, pasta, beans etc. and seasoned with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger, cayenne (hard to believe that they love hot peppers) We offer a large variety and mix things up.
Very spoiled & healthy fids!

| I usually recommend to feed 15-20% (no more than 25%) of the birds bodyweight in dry food (seeds, or pellets...) each day. Basically, enough food for them to eat in one day, given to them either in the morning or later in the day (depending on what else you feed). Then, to feed as much fresh/cooked food (cooked eggs/grains/legumes, fresh/frozen/steamed veggies, and a small amount of fruits, with sprouted seeds, etc) as the bird will eat. The more fresh foods they eat the less dry foods they may actually consume. If I feed my birds fresh food in the morning, they usually have that for 2 hours (no more than 4 hours), then I take it out and give them dry food. If I give them dry food in the morning, then I'll switch that out in the evening for fresh food.
