Trying to provide additional food sources does help. Fresh fruit, pulses and vegetables provide high levels of nutrients that will not be present in seed diets. It is always advisable to provide these to every bird. No seed is required in the case of hardbills. The nutritional requirements of species will vary and it is important to ensure the correct complete diet is used.
Diets designed to reduce iron levels are also available for Mynahs etc.
There is also a handout available in how to convert your pet bird over to a complete diet. Christmas is upon us once more and as ever it is a good time for reflection.
