Thank you for your advice.
I wanted to get her to eat pellets as well as seeds, not instead. The reason I want her to have pellets is that I read that wild parakeets only have access to seeds during a limited portion of the year, and that The Association of Avian Veterinarians recommends a diet of:
50% cooked beans, whole wheat bread, cooked rice, pasta, and seed
45% fresh broccoli, carrots, yams, spinach, dandelion greens, other green/orange fruits and veggies
5% eggs, tuna packed in water, well cooked meat
I can't get her to explore the possibilities of fresh foods, though they are offered daily. I've only rarely gotten her to try 100% juices with no high-fructose corn syrup in them.
