It is sure good to see you doing alot of homework, Kudos !

My opinion;

Not the wombaroo it contains shell grit and that is not needed in birds that hull their seeds. Infact it can irritate their crop and cause problems.

The medium parrot blend looks good, maybe too many sunflower seeds and not sure about the Brewers Yeast (anyone else know anything about brewers yeast). Alot of the people in the US will tell you not to feed seed and to put them on pellet, I personally give them predominantly fresh foods and then seed only twice a week. Just believe its natural for them to hull seeds, they have the beak and the ability, so I stick to natural.

Just nuts would be good as a "treat only", too many nuts, too much fat.

same with the biccys

If you are a pellet person the paswell is good I have heard.

The zoo vital looks good, especially if you are trying to switch your birds from seed to pellet, having the fresh fruit in it to help with that transition. Even as a starter for them to get use to eating pellet.

Cheers !
