- I Sun Conure who hatched March 23. 2004. I adopted her on May 8, 2005
I had a Quaker Parrot named Nikki who lived for 19 years
I grew up with Budgerigars named Screech, Zoar and Blue Baby
My Sun loves to eat and is always looking for a handout, and my mother likes to give her snacks during the day, but I worry about her overfeeding her. I just found out she was giving my Sun lots of pine nuts in a given a day. When I asked how many she was like: "I give her like 10", which I think is waaaaaaaay too much.
She laughed at me when I told her I would not go over 2 a day.
Is there any snack that she can give her that can't be overfed?. I don't think I can trust her with pine nuts.
My Sun is almost 20 years old.

My Sun is almost 20 years old.
so I make Teekos chop with atleast 5 veggies. 2 to 3 different peppers. And some seeds which I add at the end. Like I sprinkle it like salt. And brown rice but ONLY in a small portion. So I'll blend his chop. And after everything is done. I'll grab 2 baggies. And a ice cube tray. I'll fill each ice cube compartment with the chop and put it in the baggie and put it in the fridge and. That ONE ice cube portion is the perfect amount 
. I'll store the rest that I didn't use in a baggie in the freezer. So when he runs out. I'll thaw it out! I use frozen veggies. Because it's quicker and, trying to wash pesticides off veggies can be tough. And it's dangerous for birds. So, that way through out the day he can have treats. Like fruit and sunflower seeds. 
I hope this helps! Which if your sun is 20 years old that's really good! And you must be feeding right
