Diet wise, anything you'd feed to cockatiels and budgies! So yes, pellets are ok! But they shouldn't take up more than 25-50% of their diet! Seeds are, IMO, still healthy for them! Better yet, feed sprouted seeds over dry!
I think bourkes are fantastic companions for the right people, but I hate to see them clipped. They don't really climb around much like other parrot species do, but rather rely more heavily on their wings. I kind of liken them to a mix between a flighty finch and a laid back cockatiel.
