Sorry I post on here like 3x a day BUT I know my girl is a wee young thing and I was wondering if I should be incorporating more seed, pellets, or veggies into her diet as I’m not sure if she’s still growing or not? She’s also very active and seems to burn off what she eats quickly (she’s pretty much always at her food dispenser). Also, are there any suggestions to get my budgies to drink more water? Do they prefer running to stilled?
also part 2, do any veggie ratio charts exist so that all of their intake needs are being met? I just want to know exactly what they need so they’re not deprived of any essential nutrients or minerals (yes they have mineral blocks and cuttle bones, even though they rarely use them)

You can begin introducing pellets and vegetables right now.
Keep in mind that it can take several weeks or months for a budgie to decide to try new foods.

Have you read the articles regarding diet?
They address the questions regarding ratios.

Lots of budgies like running water but I simply use filtered water for my birds in a water dish.
