I use organic soil and the seeds are what comes in the canary seed mix I use for my canaries because they all grow like grass. It has canary seed, rape, red and white millet, some oats, thistle, that kind of thing. As to the branches, I use mostly the branches of the trees in my backyard (maple, sycamore, hickory) and my and my daughter's neighbor's pines (they save the branches they trim for me) because I know for a fact they have never been sprayed with anything. The Christmas tree I buy for them in December is usually a spruce and I get it from a farm where I know they don't spray or treat their trees with anything (it's in Pennsylvania where I used to live and I know the owners) but, usually, Christmas trees are not treated with anything. It's a very easy cash crop for farmers because the government gives the seedlings, they plant them and simply forget about them for a few years when it's time to cut them down for the season. The floor covering is alfalfa usually but I also get what they call orchard grass (a bale) whenever I go to Pennsylvania (it's used to feed horses, cows, etc during the winter).

My Conure' s poop always gets runy with fruit... I don't think it's anything to worry about.it also gets red when I give them Goji berries which they LOVE , it makes sence that if a food contains more water it would affect their droppings I think.
By the way, my conure were getting dry skin during the winter and since I use organic cold pressed coconut oil on my skin and in my food, I decided to see if it would work with. Them.
Well, they stopped scratching so much and their feathers got brighter! I feed it to them once a day in the evening on a spoon later during the day or evening ( otherwise they skiptheir dinner cause of the fat)
