I used to have budgerigars which I think are similar in their diets and they loved millet. You can buy it in sprays and tie it inside the cage so it is more interesting for him to nibble at.
Our birds ate grass seeds which we bought in boxes or bags from the pet shop.
I also had a little iodine block which they would lick .
Cuttle fish can be tied in the cage too and is a treat for them.
