but disagreeing or pointing out any error to the OP will get you called a bully and worse.

cages are a mess and it looks like the poor thing is living on toaster waffles and chex cereal. OP is correct, seeds are not a balanced diet for parrots, but neither is processed white flour human breakfast filler. seeds would be a vast improvement over that.

just because someone claims to love and care for an animal (or a person) doesn't mean they are doing it correctly. how many of us kill our pets with too much kindness, too much food?

it is always sad to lose a pet, but pointing out some tips to keep remaining ones in good health is not bullying.
