AnswerAside from the sunflower seeds - you're feeding your parrots excellent choices. Sunflower seeds are very bad for birds though and can cause fatty liver disease, so replace them with a quality seed mix that doesn't include them. Try some pellets too (about 75-80% of the diet should be of pellets).
There's a great outline of feeding options and choices here:

Keep up the great work!
