I've always heard that cabbage in general is a no-no. :)

Cabbage gives them diarrhea, or so I've heard, so I guess it's a no-no. :)

I have heard different things on giving cabbage, I have never personally given it but I have read alot of places that say cabbage is ok.

Feed only small quantities but vary the offerings made.

Choose from the following list:

carrots - cut into thin, beak-size strips

zucchini

silverbeet - include the white spine

whole string beans

corn on the cob

spinach

broccoli

snow peas

celery - stalks and tops

cabbage

This is what was posted on a national cockatiel society.
I also found this on a vet hospital site
fresh varying foods should be offered as well.Vegies esp. greens like spinach silver beet endive parsley carrots peas celery parsley and cabbage are great.
