Well for starters u really should have researched a  little more b4 u bought the bird bc it could have saved u alot of trouble. But moving on food is very important for cocketiels too! You should plan on spending 20$ a week on frsh food, pellets, and other treats that you plan on getting. seeds should be fed very little to avoid health issues later. the best diet is a staple of a good quality pellets, fresh veggies and fruits(mostly veggies) and maybe a tiny bit of seed now and then as a treat. Darkly colored veggie and fruits are th best and have the most nutrients. Here is a link below to a site that offers a BASIC list of foods u can offerhttp://www.birdsnways.com/wisdom/ww47eii...

For supplies...Bird talk(birdchannel.com)offers  many links to sites that offer supplies. As far as online goes...there are few places that come to mind especially if your looking for supplies. The following can all be googled and the results will be the first in the list....

Windy City Parrot Supplies

Grey Feather Toy Creations

Bird Toy Outlet

Avian Love

8 Beaks

And there are loads more on bird channels website. plus they offer supplies for sale on that site so you should find everything ur looking for, maybe more! I would highly reccomend buying birds usa or picking up a recent issue of bird talk as there are a lot of venders listed as well as many bird clubs who can point u in the right direction i hope this helps!!! and if u need more info pleese contact me!!
