My Willow would eat avicakes before he would eat pellets by themselves.

I find that small parrots will try vegetables if they are cut so the seeds are visible. They will pick out the veggie seeds and then end up eating some of the vegetable.
Kale was about the only thing Twila would nibble when she was a mini! Of all thingsā€¦ kale! šŸ¤”šŸ¤£

Try classic lafebers Nutri berries. They have sugar in them, but the size and shape are great for foraging. Theyā€™re a fortified mix of pellets and seed.
Once sheā€™s hooked on those, you can place them on/in a bed of fresh greens (spritzed with water can add appeal). Maybe she will decide to take a nibble.
Air popped plain popcorn can also be appealing. Corn (products) are often one of the base ingredients in commercially prepared bird food.
She will eat warmed up corn now so ive been adding some to her chop for her to find amongst the other finely chopped vegies. She will come up from the bowl covered in food so hopefully she will get use to the taste of chop
