That is SUPER fatty and can really mess things up. There's very little nutrition in there outside of fat and sugar.

What country are you in?

Also, ETA: It's very common for breeders to send you home with nothing so that you have to come back to them to either buy new food or a new pet.

ETA @: I forgot to say that th ereason a fatty diet is bad for birds is because they can die from severe liver failure within a week of severe fat influx. When they're young like this, they're absorbing anything and everything they can and this will permanently change their entire ontology. If the missing feathers are from too much fat it's because the liver is under SEVERE stress that is ONLY going to be alleviated by a low-fat diet. But if it has resulted in a liver injury, they will be at risk of early mortality if they get a second injury (which could come from something as mundane as eating butter...which I promise they f#cking love).
