What do cockatiels eat?

According to the web site cockatiel.com, it is important
that you provide your bird with variety in its diet. The bird will "tell" you what it
likes and dislikes by the foods it chooses to eat. The cockatiel will eat seeds, but the
web site recommends that you include pellet bird food along with seeds for variety. You
can also serve fruits and vegetables to your cockatiel, but you need to chop or shred
them into small pieces.

Again according to cockatiel.com,
here is a list of fruits and vegetables that are appropriate to feed to your
bird:

• sprouts, spinach, turnip greens, Swiss
  chard, mustard greens, broccoli, escarole, chicory, tomatoes, beet greens, bok choy,
  grated carrots, collard greens, corn, endive, kale, cooked yams, cooked pumpkin, cooked
  sweet potato, mangos, cantaloupe, apricots, nectarines, papayas, peaches, apples,
  bananas, grapes, oranges.

You can even feed
your cockatiel small amounts of chicken, fish, beef, hard boiled or scrambled eggs,
yogurt, and cottage cheese.
