Question Is this food ok for the time being?

hello yall i ran out of seed the other day and baby huey really got mad....he only had pellets which i thought would be ok. but he refused to eat. and well i am no where near a nice bird/parrot store and had to go to petco and buy ecotrition i got the seed that looked like less sunflower seeds and more safflower seed. it was the best i could do till next week. is this going to be ok for baby huey in his baby years....it says it is nutrtionally complete... but i do 3/4 pellets and 1/4 seed. hes much better now. but is it good for him? i always thought petco was bad to buy from there unless it was zupreem pellet fruit blend. thats what i get for him. if its a good mix i might just buy this stuff. let me know guys. im not too informed with exact nutrition yet, if there are any links or whatever to reading up on nutrition please post it on here for me. hes already 2 lbs. and hes 5 months old on the 13. the vet said hes going to be a big one.......joy!

its probably ok for a little while if thats not his entire diet, does he get any warm meals?
like rice and beans with lots of fruits and veggies?

I am beginning to think there isn't any exact science to feeding them since my Hannah is a MOOOOOOCH. She eats anything and everything, if its in your hand she thinks its hers. and yes I think since at five months he is already that big then is gonna be a big one, Hannah however is on the small side, she is hanging around 825 grams even though she eats good..........LMB
