Is this a suitable diet for an eclectus parrot?

Question by Meleah: Is this a suitable diet for an eclectus parrot?
To all those bird lovers out there! Here is the diet i have my ekky on, do you think it is a suitable diet? What am i missing?

I put in diced mixed veges, which include carrot, zucchini, red chilli’s, red capsicums etc etc. It stays in there all day, as he likes to take his time eating. He is indoors, and the house stays cool. Of an evening i put in fresh diced fruit for two hours,throughout the day he has Eclectus pellets and dehydrated fruit. And as his training treat i’m going to start using sunflower seed. I use a calcium suppliement once a week in his water, and also a vitamin and mineral suppliement in his food once a week. I was doing this daily but have been told not to do that, as i am overdoing it with the added vitamins and minerals – as there are alot of it in his pellets.
Thanks birdsandbooks:)you’re great.

The man – That was very useful information Thank you.

That is a really nice cage for an Eclectus. I had a male a few years ago. You will love your bird and this cage may spoil you, but they do last a long time. You could actually go a little shorter and it would be easier to clean, no stooping. Enjoy!

My Eclectus parrot seems to have weak feet. Is this normal?

When Matika (my 1 year old Eclectus parrot) tries to fly she always hurts her feet. After a day or two they come good again but they seem generally quite weak. She never seems to hold onto your fingers very tightly. I am wondering if it is normal in this breed of bird or whether it is a weakness she has?
