A budgie diet should be supplemented with fresh fruit and vegetables on a daily basis.

For eg you can offer: apple, grape, guava, kiwi fruit, mango, melon, nectarine, orange, peach, pear, pomegranate, plum, strawberry, tangerine.Peas, Broads beans, french beans , Broccoli, carrot, sprouts, cooked cabbage , kale. To name just a few.

My budiges love cooked corn (and corn on the cob), carrot, brocholie, apple, cabbage, one of their favourites at the moment is pyracantha berries (Firethorne) which are in season at the moment and free to pick from most hedges.

A boiled egg mashed up with finely chopped carrot is also a wonderful suppliment for them.

It's far easier to tell you what to avoid feeding budgies. Avacardo Pear, Mushrooms and Onions

Any type of pepper is fine, they also like the seeds.

Keep trying they will eventually start eating it

I've taken on budgies where the previous owners have told me they don't touch fresh food, well after a couple of days they couldn't get enough lol.
