Trustworthy food-list?

[sjalfsmord]

Hey, I've been wondering about this but couldn't find the answer by myself,so I thought I should ask you guys.

So I've been searching the web for which food is toxic for lovebirds,parrotlets in general,and I of course,couldn't find all the food list on the web. I still can't find Melon's favorite food because I don't know what to give him. I think it's sunflower seeds but,there're tons of different lists on web that,for ex,states chickpeas are bad for birds,states chickpeas are actually good for birds,and I don't know which one I should believe. Do you guys have any trustworthy food-list for lovebirds/parrotlets?


And also,in my country,there's a snack-ish thing,roasted chickpeas. I was eating one of them and Melon wanted to eat one too. I was like..should I give him or not? Roasting or boiling things does make a difference,so I'm like...eh...?

And here is a link to an eclectus diet website. The foods listed there would be good for any parrot, and I've found the info on that site very accurate: fruitandveg (Don't just stop on that page. That resource is chock full of info.)
