Harrison's bird food is the best pelleted bird food on the market in my opinion. Most avian vets recommend it and feed it to their own birds. For more information, here is their web address: https://www.harrisonsbirdfoods.com/

Happy birthday, Peko! I'm not entirely sure what smackers and petsile fruits are, but they look to be some sort of seed treat made especially for birds, so it should be OK to give. If you'd like to give the birds a special treat, some veggies such as salad greens, berries, fruits like a little apple or pear, etc can all be given as a fun snack as an alternate option. Other items such as spray millet are another fun treat most budgies enjoy. Make sure you are giving any treats in moderation and still feeding their regular diet to ensure they stay healthy and do not have any GI upset.

I am not familiar with this specific product but it is made for dogs and cats (so mammals) not birds (avian). Obviously birds and dogs/cats have different nutritional requirements. It probably won't hurt the birds but I am not sure if it will help anything. If your vet recommended it I suppose they have experience using it??? I would actually recommend this one instead as it is especially formulated for birds: https://www.amazon.in/Vetafarm-Probiotic-90-gm/dp/B001LK9158/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1511228932&sr=1-1&keywords=bird+probiotic+vetafarm Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Most pet stores will carry a balanced diet specific for parrots that offer a complete and balanced diet. You can also offer some fresh fruits and vegetables as an added treat. If you just got your bird home, he may still be adjusting to the new environment and so may be reluctant to be as social. Offering treats may help. If you do see any signs of illness, however, then a vet check up is best.

Gradually introduce a pelleted diet such as Exact or Pretty Bird. You can soak it in warm water to make a mush or paste. When you have them out, pretend to show an interest in the new food as this may also pique their curiosity. Decrease the amount of millet offered and have other foods available at all times.
