Between the two of them they love various seeds: sunflower, safflower, pistachio, pumpkin (Mika only), millet (Stewie only), plus: dried papaya, dried pineapple, Nutriberries, dried vegetables, hulled oats... basically lots of stuff. But it's trial and error. I've bought treats they didn't like, and stuff that they warmed up to over time (apparently some things are "acquired tastes"). And some of the treats only one bird likes and not the other. You just kind of have to see.

When I buy nuts, I will buy either human-grade or "marketed as bird food" nuts - just make sure they are unsalted and organic.
