Rosellas are mostly herbivores. They feed on seeds, fruits, nuts, leaf buds, new shoots and the nectar and pollen in flowers of Australian native plants. However, they have also been known to eat mealworms and other insect larvae when they are starving.

Rosellas kept as pets or aviary birds need a wild bird seed mix or commercial large parrot seed mix. Their diet should be supplemented with occasional fruits, the flower heads of native plants such as callistemon (bottlebrush) or grevillea, and leafy vegetables such as lettuce or spinach. They should also be given native tree branches in their aviary or cage, which they can strip the bark off.
