If they are pied and if your in Orange where they sell for $330 .00 a pair then Id say feed them only the best and on a silver platter. :D

I feed mine dry seed, leafy greens, the green food mix (see further down the topics list) and any live food I can get my hands on.

Also bok choi and silver beet they love it!!! But yea agree with mick p they love lebo cucumber as do all my birds the red brows smash it. For some reason only my gouldian hen eats green food the cock doesnt hehe.

But my red cheek cordons are always first to the green food and live food. I rekon if i didnt have them the other birds would have taken forever to try anything.
