Thanks for reaching out abut Muthu. You are correct that sunflower seeds, and most other seeds, are high in fat and poor in nutrients. Parrots need to eat a wide variety of vegetables, a protein source (beans, legumes, tofu), and avian pellets. A veterinary visit would be a good idea to assess his health and provide advise for diet and husbandry. Good luck.
