You might want to toss out the grit as it is a waste of money. Only oyster grit has any good pros to it (calcium), but it has some cons to it as well (can cause crop impaction or can actually cut the crop up on the inside). Instead, an easier way to give calcium is via cooked eggs and eggshells, cuttlebones, and calcium supplements (best to get a recommendation from a vet as to what type to use - I just bought some liquid calcium for humans as per recommended by my vet). As far as everything else, it sounds like you are doing a great job! Here's some more fresh food ideas from 'The Healthy Bird Cookbook'...
