ok, well let me give you a quick biology class. Bird do not have babies like mammals, they lay eggs.
You didnt say if you had them in a breeding box or not. Its just a wooden box with a hole really and if they are in it you dont need a heat lamp their parents will take care of them. My Cockateils raised their babies on their normal food but at a larger amount. When they get older you can give them these pellest from the pet food store, they will be with the normal food. They are little brown pellets that you can either give to them dry or add a little water for easier eating. Birds are good parents and the only time there would be need to intervien would be if they have too many.
First off, LEAVE THEM ALONE.
Do not be sticking your nose in there every ten minutes trying to see what they are doing.
Do not provide any source of extra heat.
Do not change anything in the cage set up.
And from what your feeding now do not change.
The birds have gone to nest assuming the food source they have now is fine for raising young.
Any changes made could effect them and stop them from feeding.
