Best Pellet Diet for a Galah

[dustbunny86]

For all of you other galah parents, I was wondering what type of pellets you use. My galah is currently eating the LeFeber parrot pellets along with daily greens (collard, chard, mustard, dandelion, kale) and veggies (squash, zucchini, bell peppers, sweet potato) and occassional low-fat seeds (millet), fruits (pomegranite, apple) and young sprouted seeds and grains. Although my galah, Phoenix, has not been gaining any weight and is fairly active in cage and out, reading about how common lipomas are in this species of bird, I am wondering if I should change her diet. The parrot maintenance pellet she is on now has a crude protein content of 14% and fat of 5%. Ideally, should she be on a lower-fat pellet? What do you all use and do you have any other suggestions of galah-approved foods (veggies, fruits, grains, etc) I can include in her diet?

Thanks for any input!

Zupreem, Roudybush, Harrisons, and TOP are some of the most recommended pellets besides Lafebers. I really don't know what the best pellet brand there is, but as long as your galah gets plenty of exercise and doesn't eat too many fatty foods then she should be fine. Only other foods I can think of that you could include in her diet include cooked beans...
