Diet for ABV pos bird?

I posted it to the PDD board but so far my post nor an answer has been posted. I am trying to find the best diet or combination of foods to feed Eyva. Her weight was fluctuating between 297 and 308 with the occasional climb to 318. I was feeding her handfeeding formula at night only but her weight was starting to stay on the low end of the scale so I have increased her handfeedings to morning and night and so far so good, She is taking about 20 cc at each feeding and eating pellets and a little bit of seed at night. She gets her veggies in the morning and at dinner time and she doesnt really like fruit altho it is offered.
Any suggestions for a good diet?

You might try for the Roudybush diet made specifically for birds with PDD, although you can only get it through your avian vet.
Formula APD Proventricular


In the least, ask the PDD experts about it as well as your avian vet.
