It sounds like you asking how to cook a cockatiel, but I won't play English teacher........... :)
Is this as a staple food or a treat? As a treat, I assume, and I'd recommend a veggie mix (cut to the consistency of salsa, try celery, cucumber, pumpkin, other yellow squashes, turnip, chard, banana, apple, orange, citrus of any kind, actually........ )
You can also hard boil and chop an egg, or give them small amounts of steak, poultry, or fish.

Cockatiel and Apple Stir-Fry
Ingredients
·6 dried mushrooms (1 cup), such as shiitake or wood ear mushrooms
·12-ounces skinless, boneless cockatiel breast halves 3/4 cup cold water
·3 tablespoons frozen orange, apple, or pineapple juice concentrate, thawed
·2 tablespoons soy sauce
·2 teaspoons cornstarch
·1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
·1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
·1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
·1/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds
·1 tablespoon cooking oil
·2 medium green, red, orange, and/or yellow sweet peppers, cut into thin 2-inch strips (2 cups)
·2 medium apples, thinly sliced (2 cups)
·2 cups hot cooked brown rice
Directions
1. In a small bowl cover mushrooms with warm water. Let soak for 30 minutes. Rinse and squeeze mushrooms to drain thoroughly. Discard stems. Thinly slice mushrooms. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, cut cockatiel into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
3. For sauce, in a small bowl stir together cold water, juice concentrate, soy sauce, cornstarch, ginger, cinnamon, and red pepper. Set aside.
4. Preheat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add almonds; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Remove almonds from the wok. Let wok cool.
5. Pour cooking oil into the cooled wok. (Add more oil as necessary during cooking.) Add mushrooms, sweet peppers, and apples; stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until peppers and apples are crisp-tender. Remove apple mixture from the wok.
6. Add cockatiel to the hot wok; stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until no pink remains. Push cockatiel from the center of the wok.
7. Stir sauce. Add sauce to the center of the wok. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Return apple mixture to the wok. Stir all ingredients together to coat with sauce. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes more or until heated through. Stir in toasted almonds. Serve immediately over hot cooked brown rice. Makes 4 servings.
