Seeds in the poop happen when your bird's stomach is not grinding up the seeds properly. Budgies and other psittacines do not usually need grit to help with grinding up seeds, they usually shell seeds. I suggest you get a commercially available budgie food for your bird, which will have the correct type of seeds for her to digest properly. If she still has seeds in her poop after feeding commercial food to her for a few days, she needs to be seen by an avian veterinarian for an exam. There are quite a few avian veterinarians in Chandigarh.
