There are many places to look for budgie toys online, and doing a simple google search can help you find them. Looking at places such as Petco (if available in your area), Drs Foster Smith, etc, or other online pet stores can give you an idea of what's available and can be shipped to you. most places will also mark the size of the toy so you can pick out ones appropriate for budgies.

If the skin is broken and bleeding, Lemon Drop is at risk for infection. Even if you have no local avian veterinarian, a small animal vet should be able to treat her. A specialist can be consulted online or by phone. The antibiotics and medications used are similar, just the dose is much smaller. A small e-collar (cone) may need to be fashioned to prevent her from plucking. In the meantime, lean and sanitize the cage, bowls, toys and perches. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Use paper towels on the cage bottom and change them daily to keep the cage clean. Provide a variety of toys and treats to keep her distracted from picking. Bathe or mist her with warm water a few times a week to promote preening and healthy skin and plumage.

I would try using an avian (bird) probiotic/supplement like this one: https://www.amazon.in/My-Beau-Avian-Birds-300ml/dp/B00FBE3XQI/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1517593240&sr=1-2-fkmr1&keywords=avian+probiotic Also, be sure you are feeding a high quality diet like Lafeber's: https://www.amazon.in/Classic-Nutri-Berries-Parakeets-12-5-Tub/dp/B0002ARFN8/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1517593365&sr=1-1&keywords=lafeber+diet Hope this helps. Best wishes.

In the second image, she definitely looks unthrifty and ill. Without a physical exam though, it is difficult to say for sure what is going on with her. If you can, transition from an all seed diet to a pelleted diet which is more balanced. Brands include Harrison's, Lafeber, Pretty Bird or KayTee Exact. You can still offer a small amount of a fortified seed mix as well as fresh fruits and vegetables to round out the diet.
