Agree with fb, dry seed only,heaps fresh seeding grasses for a couple of weeks. No live food either as this is their main source of protein packing fat. If they are in a mixed collection you may have to shift to another aviary or large cabinet big enough for them to exercise to burn the fat off them. Craig
