Birds are curious and may explore and munch on things they shouldn't. Making sure to clean the cage daily, and that there is a grate down to collect droppings without allowing Luna to hop into it and eat it is best. As for food, most pet stores will carry balanced diets for cockatiels that consist of a balance of seeds and pellets that provide nutrition and vitamins/minerals. You can also offer in a few treats such as fresh fruits and veggies to help supplement her diet and keep her healthy.
