That's wonderful! The weaning period is the best opportunity to get a bird on a varied healthy diet but it sounds like the breeder missed the boat on that. After the weaning period it's harder to convince them to eat new foods but with time and patience it can be done. It took me two years to get my cockatiels to eat fresh carrot! Fortunately most foods don't take that long (unless it's one they're NEVER going to eat), but it's not unusual for it to take several weeks or months.
