Is this diet ok?

I have a 6 month old Rock Pebbler that I've had for little over a week. You kinda go crazy looking at all the different opinions of what you should feed your bird. I took a little from everyone and did something simple to start. I take green beans, broccoli, carrots, cranberries, apples and have it chopped fine in my food processor just cause my bird eats very small pieces and in small portions. I've started click training her so I give her unsalted sunflower or pumpkin seeds, papaya dried fruit as treats and after click training, she gets her Harrison pellets. Is this diet ok for now?

Not too bad ,but you really should add some cooked whole grains to the fruit and veggies, for breakfast and all day snacking you are good on the treats and then feed the pellets for dinner, removing any that remains when the bird goes to sleep.
