Lines: 25 I've had good luck feeding my cockatiel things like bread, unsalted crackers, some spagetti (which if not to spicy good for them). I also tried walnut meat and she goes nuts (excuse the pun) She will also eat other nuts like filberts, brazil and niger-toes. I break the meat in small pieces because she does not like the outer coating on most nuts. Be sparing on how much of this stuff you feed them because most nuts, like peanut contain a high level of fat. She does like broccoli, lettuce, peas and corn. You might try growing some of the small birdseed. I have tried this and the baby greens are a treat to my bird. I hope this helps! Marie (Owner of 9 birds) -- Marie A.
