If you are going away and are intending on supplying them with a huge pile of veggies it will rot before they can eat it and could cause problems. I would advise you get a neighbor to feed them smaller portions of the veggies/fruit. Then return to the grain/crumbles once you are home. A fresh supply of water will be necessary too. They will run out of water and once it gets dirty it wont be fit to drink they need fresh water daily. Find a bird sitter
