Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female
Hi, I know the budgies diet should be mainly of seeds, pellets. But what are the best fruits and veg for them? Also I am worried they will not ever bond with me, it has been 5 months now. I bought 2 so I knew it would be harder and the vet has told us not to get their wings clipped. They hop onto my finger sometimes but thats about it

Thanks for reaching out about Cheeya. You are correct that birds need more than seeds/pellets to thrive. A wide variety of vegetables including greens, red/orange/yellow vegetables such as carrots and squashes. Fruits are more like treats, due to high sugar content. As per handling them. It is a continuation of winning their trust and offering treats. Good luck.
