Whether you go with a pellet or seed dominant diet, make sure they get plenty of fresh veggies, fruits and greens. And I've found that they absolutely love (shelled) pine-nuts. They're perfect to use as rewards for taming/training. Make sure you start taming them right away. They're really, really smart, and lots of fun!
Since you're in India, the plant Tulsi (holy basil) should be readily available. (I grow it here in the U.S.). Tulsi leaves and flowering stalks are extremely good for them. It makes the perfect green part of they're diet. Just offer it every day, I clip some in they're cages with a wooden clothes pin. Once they try it (it may take a while) they're hooked!

If you want to breed green cheek conures, then please get unrelated birds to pair up with the two you have. It is not good to breed siblings together, as it can result in genetically weaker offspring that may be more prone to health problems.
