That's what I do with my cat (she hated the transdermal in-the-ear stuff and being pilled? forget about it!) I grind the pill to powder and mix it in a little bit of her favorite food. Disclaimer: this is a cat not a bird.
One thing that worked well with my conures: Put the medicine on a tiny piece of bread (preferably a seeded/grainy bread). Let the medicine soak into the bread. Now, as you know, you normally wouldn't feed parrots bread, but you can make an exception here.
Can’t believe I’m looking up how to give a budgie medicine on YouTube. Nothing to tell you that you don’t know or would help I fear. Wishing you success.🙂

Hope she is feeling better and forgives you quickly. 🫶
