Lovebirds have hooked beaks which means they can eat a variety of seeds and nuts but that is not all you should feed them as feeding them only seeds and nuts can lead to vitamin deficiency.
You should always feed your birds a mixture of seeds, fruits and vegetables to insure a healthy lovebird.
Every day you should offer your lovebird a mix of the following seeds...
Niger, silver millet (not a millet spray), flax, peas, oats; you should also add some canary or budgie seed mix as well
I choose to by my seed and bulk and mix it myself instead of buying the premixed seeds at pet stores so that I know what goes into my lovebirds.
You should also give your birds fresh fruits and vegetables each day in addition to the seed which will give your lovebirds a healthy balanced diet.
