A couple of things -
The purpose of this thread that I started a LONG time ago is to share a list of vitamin A fresh foods for parrots. It was incredibly helpful for me way back in the day and I bumped it to share with the newer members of the forum and to provide helpful information for visitors unsure of what to feed their parrots, nutrition wise.
Nutrition is important for parrot owners to research in general. While I personally have changed my views over the years on certain things (pellets, tomatoes) the information in the list about fruits and veggies is still very much useful. Still to this day I appreciate the input GreyMoon offered (whom I miss around here) and agree with her input that pellets are essentially multivitamins - I have recently referred to them as Cliff bars for parrots, myself.
But this thread isn't about pellets. The title says it all.
