Without knowing how long you've had your bird, it would be hard to give more tailored recommendations. Birds can be very picky and afraid of new things at first, especially if you've recently purchased it. I would continue to offer a variety of items to let your bird get used to seeing them, etc, and give it a chance to finally sample some. Be sure to pick up anything spoiled and keep trying!

Thanks for reaching out again .If not used to hand feeding, they will rarely take it at this age. If different from the food offered at the pet store, contact the store for the same food. Provide heat support in the 80-85 f range can give some comfort. Good luck.

Happy birthday, Peko! I'm not entirely sure what smackers and petsile fruits are, but they look to be some sort of seed treat made especially for birds, so it should be OK to give. If you'd like to give the birds a special treat, some veggies such as salad greens, berries, fruits like a little apple or pear, etc can all be given as a fun snack as an alternate option. Other items such as spray millet are another fun treat most budgies enjoy. Make sure you are giving any treats in moderation and still feeding their regular diet to ensure they stay healthy and do not have any GI upset.

Leave them in the cage/nest. If you remove them, she will keep laying. Leave them until she loses interest which could be in 2-3 weeks. Provide a commercial pelleted diet supplemented with a fortified seed mix. Provide a cuttlebone or mineral block as well. She will lay anywhere from 2 to 8 eggs total and there will likely be one day separating each egg.

They can eat scrambled eggs. Avoid excessive amounts of butter or oil. Hardboiled eggs can also be offered. Shells can be rinsed then lightly toasted and crushed before offering. I give my birds (or rather they take!) eggs, dry toast and potatoes from my plate. You can offer these foods once a week or so as long as they get mainly a commercial pelleted diet (Lafeber, Harrison's, Pretty Bird). A bit of fortified seed mix and fresh fruits and greens can round out the diet.
