Are these a good seed mix for a cockatiel?

All in One Seed Mix, It's 100% Organic.

I will also give him/her veggies and fruits every day. If those are not a good seed mix, then can you please tell me which one is? I don't have a cockatiel yet, but I'm planing on getting one in the next month or two.

    Forget the Organic seed most seeds are organically grown , you will pay double the price for so called Organic seed,

    Most Pet stores will sell you a good Cockatiel Seed mix, even Some Supermarkets, but the best and cheapest is from a Good Pet Store.

    Prepacked seeds are always dearer than loose mixed seeds.so go to a pet store for yours.

    They will also advise you on your birds requirements , but better still if you buy from a good breeder , they will give you the best advice.

    You are correct in giving your bird, veggies and fruit, the best veggies are Broccoli, Kale, Cress, Sweet Corn Cob, Carrot, never Lettuce , Avocado, Sweets or Chocolate.Fruit such as Apple ,Pear, Grapes , Mango . Plums can all be part of it's diet.

    I have had cockatiels for 8 years now and I give them zupreem natural pellets along w/rodybush mini pellets and island treat natures garden mixed in which can be very costly but they love it and I always mix sunshine factor in with their food and I give them a treat of mixed organic lettuce like raddicio and green leaf with basil and parsley and then apples they love and carrots are a big thing. Just make sure to give them fresh water at least twice a day.

    And avocado, mushrooms , coffee, and chocolate are poisonous to them they will die, also if a cat gets a hold of them get them to a vet right away that can also kill them within 24 hours. Good luck they are a joy:)

    Most cockatiels should be on a pellet diet with occasional seed and fruits and veggies every day.
