Food for my conure

I have a conure and a cockatiel. I feed them both cockatiel diet food.
Is it a good idea to feed it to my conure? if not, what should i get for him?!?! i have tried to get parrot food but he will reject it, but when i give him cockatiel food, he munches out! lol what are good foods to give him?

If he will not eat a conure mix then the cockatiel mix should be ok. Other foods that are part of a parrots diet include pellets, fruit, vegetables, grains and legumes. Here is a link to a list of good fresh foods: Bird Safe Fresh Foods & Toxic Food Lists + Sprouts .

Lots of fresh foods and veggies and PELLETS!!! Seed is good for about 20% of the diet, the rest should be fresh foods, sprouts, fruits - you get the idea! = )
