Bird Owners' 1LB Spray Millet Treats

Spray millet, also known as finger millet, is grain that has been left on the natural stalk rather than removed. The seeds are packed into tight, round clusters, and individual sprays with hundreds of seeds may be several inches long.

Allowing birds to pick seeds from a stalk and break their natural hulls satisfies a pet bird's natural instinct to forage. Nibbling exercises the bird's bill to keep it in good shape and helps relieve stress and anxiety, which can calm your pet. Offering pet birds spray millet is ideal when young birds are being weaned, as the extra calories and protein help ensure healthy growth. Nesting birds can make use of the nutrition as well as stress relief when they are molting. The deliciousness of spray millet can also entice sick birds to eat, allowing them to recover more quickly.

If birds are a bit overweight, using spray millet to replace part of their regular diet will reduce the overall fat in their meals, helping with weight maintenance and control. Because millet is highly alkaline, it is easier for birds to digest, especially if they have food sensitivity issues and have trouble with other foods. For smaller birds, you can cut spray millet into smaller pieces to control how much they eat.

Millet is enjoyed by a wide range of pet bird species, including budgies, canaries, cockatiels, doves, finches, lovebirds, parakeets, and parrots. It can also attract various wild bird species, such as finches, juncos, buntings, doves, cardinals, grouse, and quail. Millet is a nutritious treat that can be used for training and interacting with your birds outside of their cage, as it can be easily broken into smaller pieces to entice and reward them.

When feeding your birds millet, it's important to do so in moderation, as it should not replace their main diet. Birds go crazy for this treat, so make sure to give it to them sparingly to ensure they are still eating their regular, balanced meals.
