What to feed 2 month old cockatiel that was patent feed


Hi, I was just given a roughly 2 month old cockatiel from someone in my neighborhood. I would like to know the best way to feed them to ensure proper diet, and help them be comfortable and bond. As far as I know the owner was only going to feed it seed mix but I want to be sure it is getting a balanced diet. I’m not sure HOW to offer food, or What to offer at this age. He’s got a dish with seed and a water dish. I’ve had him for 4 hours now.
