They can eat just about anything that you eat with a few exceptions. There is a partial list a the link below. https://pethelpful.com/birds/Which-Foods-Are-Safe-for-Parakeets Introduce one new food at a time and in small amounts. Ideally, Blue should be transitioned to a pelleted diet (Harrison's, Roudybush, Lafeber, Pretty Bird or Exact) and supplement with a small amount of a fortified seed mix mix, cooked grains/beans/pastas.
