Is this diet adequate?

[ilikepigeons]

I have lovebirds, zebra finches, canaries and a budgie in small indoor aviaries, research about the diet is controversial and I don't know what to do believe anymore
They get good seed mix, green grass seed heads, sprouted seeds, greens, fruits and veg most days and I have a vitamin and mineral supplement I give on dampened seed twice a week.

Vitamin and Mineral Supplement (BVM Powder)
Active constituents per kg :
Vitamin A 180.00 IU Vitamin D3 20,000 IU Vitamin E 2.000 IU Vitamin K 10mg Vitamin B1 36mg Vitamin B2 41mg Vitamin B6 4 mg Vitamin B12 10 mg D- calcium Pantothenate 175mg Nicotinamide 40 mg Cobalt 5mg Copper 7mg Iron 200mg Manganese 440mg Iodine 7.5 mg Selenium 0.36 mg Molybdenum 4mg Zinc 320mg Sodium 10mg Calcium phosphate + Calcium carbonate Calcium gluconate 35% Aniseed Beetroot Powder

Some research says that the seed portion of the diet should be mostly replaced with pellets. I have access to Roudybush pellets but those are the only ones I can afford.

I’ve been feeding seed mixture and not sure my birds would eat pellets ????? You could try mixing in pellets to see how easily switch over

Switching the seeds to mostly pellets (still feeding some seeds, and using them for training and foraging) would probably be a good idea. Rhoudybush is a good brand IMO. I don't know about the finches and canaries though, I think they need different stuff than parrots. I would talk to your avian vet if you can, they can give you the best advice.
