The diet being offered currently is not appropriate. At 6 weeks old, Sparky should still be getting a hand feeding formula. A link is included below. Feedings may range between 4 and 8 a day depending on the weight and species. I would suggest having the bird physically examined by a veterinarian or an experienced avian vet to confirm good health. Weaning typically takes place between 8 and 12 weeks of age. At this point, transition to a commercial pelleted diet (Roudybush, LaFeber, Harrison's or Pretty Bird). Introduce other foods gradually and offer a small amount of a fortified seed mix. https://www.kaytee.com/learn-care/pet-birds/hand-feeding
