70% - High Potency Coarse
20% - Fruits and Vegetables
10% - Source of omega 3 

Vegetables & Fruits
For most medium to large parrots, Harrison's suggests a maximum of 20% (by weight) of fresh, nutrient-dense, organic vegetables and sprouts.     
See individual species for specific suggested items.
Use of a gram scale is encouraged.

Omega 3
Harrison's suggests a maximum of 10% of the daily diet be made up of rich sources of omega 3 items (organic chia, flax, hemp seeds etc. as well as certain nuts high in omega 3).

Additional Needs
The importance of exercise in pet birds cannot be understated. Learn more about ways for your bird to exercise.
Most bird species require regular access to direct sunlight for optimal health.
Life enrichment, ie; foraging activities, puzzle toys, frequent social interaction and other enrichment methods are necessary to keep most pet birds healthy and happy. A lonely, bored pet bird is more sucseptible to illness than a busy, active bird.
