Well, I am afraid that the food you bought is really not good for your bird... Dry fruit and pellets are not good for GCCs and sunflowers are real bad for them in large quantities or all year round. They are mainly fruit eaters but that doesn't mean dry fruits, it means fresh ones every day. And pellets are too high in protein and WAY too dry for them. I feed mine a budgie seed mix in the winter and a cockatiel one during the warm weather months all the way up to halfway molting season so they only get sunflowers during the breeding season and then only two a day. Mine get gloop, a leafy green, a raw veggie and a raw fruit [different ones every day and a much larger portion of fruit that one would think it's OK for such a little bird] for breakfast and all day picking, and the seed mix [exactly one level measuring tablespoon] for dinner.
