Timber always has a good quality seed mix available. Each day he gets a variety of fresh food, like peas in the pod, broccoli, carrots, cooked sweet potato, chicken or lean beef, sometimes boiled egg (whites only are better some say), etc. Not all at the same time, I rotate stuff. I also give him Nutriberries. He is a thin, picky eater, so you might say he gets whatever he will eat ha. He will almost always eat a rice mix made by Higgins (Worldly Cuisine Mundo Brazil). That is a cook and serve. I sprout seeds for him (I get them from sproutpeople.org - big bird mix). He also eats some of whatever we are eating for dinner. I'm sure I've missed something, but that's basically it. I think the key is variety. They need a variety of foods, not just the same pellets or whatever all the time. Timber, FYI, would waste away before he would eat a pellet, and I've tried them all!
