New Parrotlet; Bringing home Bird

We brought home our new parrotlet yesterday and i am just getting concerned because She is not eating much or drinking at all nor is she moving around her cage too much. She does not mind being held at all and snuggles a bit but the only time i have seen her eat is when i take her out put her on a towel and sprinkle food in front of her. Should i just give her more time to adjust? She will stay where i put her in her cage all day if i leave her there.

Its quite normal for them not to eat for the first few hours as everything is new and scary for them have you tried millet as all parrots like this ?

Hi wave
As the others have said it will take her time to adjust to the new surroundings, keep encouraging and talking softly to her she will come round, try putting some millet in every parrotlet adores millet
