Lovebirds won't eat fruits/veggies after nesting. How to fix their diet?

Question

hi I've got a pair of love birds they have layed eggs and spend most of the time in the nest we left for a week and left them seeds and fruits since then they don't eat fruits and vegetables they used to eat alot of it before but now they barely touch it i give fruits in the morning and the seeds in the afternoon they rather stay hungry for 6 hours i usually give them a mix of different fruits everyday but now they won't touch any of it I'm worried about their diet is there anything to do? Pet's info: Bird | Lovebird | Male | unneutered

Thanks for reaching out about your lovebirds. Seed is not a complete diet lacking vitamins and minerals and many proteins. Fruit is little better. Birds need to eat a wide variety of vegetables. Seed might have to be rationed. Wait for birds to fledge prior to drastic changes. If the birds observe you eating they might be more likely to try it. Good luck.
