Can budgies eat eggplant?

Only a little

Yes, but only a little: budgies can eat eggplant. According to NC State, birds can eat the eggplant fruit, but the stems and leaves of the plant are toxic.

How to serve it: fruit only, a small piece

Good to know: None of our budgie-specific sources mentions eggplant.
