I figured that Joey would play stubborn with you but on to your question. I don't think we can help you very much without knowing where you live. You know city, country.

Well i live in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, South America.

Here almost everything is crap, so well that's where i live.

Thank you for letting us know where you live. I am going to do some research to try and find some suppliers that ship to your area. It may take me a couple of days so hopefully we have other members in your area that will see this and help you too.

Umm well thanks, but i can't buy things that ship to Bolivia because:
1: I don't have a credit card
And 2: It'll take at least one month till it gets here.

Hello William,

I found this Cockateil website http://www.cockatiel.com/nutrition.htmlwith diets-but someone here might have corrections to it. I have spent time in Andean Peru near the equator and Google-Earth says you are south of them but lower. Assuming you can get the same foods, I would try quinoa and maize for seeds, and bananas, pineapple, yams and carrots as well as whatever leafy greens you can find besides lettuce. No avocados.

We have some other South Americans on here, so hopefully they can chime in.

Thank you.
Should i put everything in the same dish or in separate ones???

Mix it all up . But pick stuff that your cockatiel likes equally, otherwise they will eat only the good stuff .

Thank you, but i still don't know what my cockatiel likes, because he just eats the seeds, and in the store where i got him they were only feeding him seeds, so i think it'll take awhile until i know what he likes.

Yeah, likely that's true but you'll be amazed on how fast they decide what their favorites are .
