I haven't had a chance to get a book on parrots yet. (Promise I will)
How much should we feed our TAG if we're using store bought parrot food mix?

They don't eat as much as you might think. They only need about 100 calories a day which is why it is important not to fill them up with high fat and high sugar food. As you don't know what he has been eating before it might be an idea to get some pellets as well in case he has been eating those. He won't eat everything you give him, he won't eat everything up the way a dog might, so just put some of the seed mix in his bowl and you will get to learn how much is the right amount.

P.S. Of course he probably is eating a lot at the moment because he was half starved when you found him!
