Hi and welcome Tulip! I'm not from your neck of the woods either, but we feed Morgan fresh fruits and veggies, organic baby food fruits, veggies, and juices, a fruity flavored pellet (AvianMaintnence Fruit Blend), a nut seed and bits that look like dog kibble mix (Sunscription Vita-plus parrot formula), pasta, mashed potatos, some multigrain breads, he likes rice crispies and cheerio's ... he eats many of the foods we eat. We get all of his food from either the local market or our garden. His pellets and seed/nut mix we get from our local pet store. In a big city like Atlanta you will have access to a huge variety of fresh organic foods for your new addition
