Find a old bale of hay or straw to start it with. Mix some green grass or dandylions in for the green! Any kind of fruit skins! Find some pine trees and scrape under the tree for even pine cones! Go to a lake and collect sea weed!

The ingredients you listed are all on the green side actually, so you should have no trouble getting it cooking with proper moisture. Deffly don't need manure or fertilizer. Now if you have access to manure, it makes great compost.

You may want to seek out some browns - leaves, straw, shredded paper or cardboard - to layer in with your kitchen scraps and other green stuff.
