Millet is a grass grain highly nutritious and is lower in fat content than other grains which makes it a valuable addition to any bird’s diet.

What Birds Eat Millet

Many different birds enjoy millet. In the wild, millet can attract finches, juncos, buntings, doves, cardinals, grouse, quail, and other birds. A wide range of pet bird species also enjoy millet, including:
Budgies
Canaries
Cockatiels
Doves
Finches
Lovebirds
Parakeets
Parrots

Spray Millet is best for smaller birds with more delicate bills that can easily manipulate tiny seeds. Larger birds, such as macaws and cockatoos, don’t tend to enjoy millet as much, though they will still nibble at the seeds.

Benefits of Spray Millet for Pet Birds

Feeding Spray Millet to Pet Birds

While this is a nutritious snack, spray millet should only be offered occasionally as part of an overall balanced diet that includes seeds, pellets, fruit, and vegetables. To ensure healthy eating habits, a bird should not be given a millet spray until its regular meal is finished.

Spray Millet can be cut into smaller pieces to regulate how much millet birds eat. Clipping or tying a spray to the side of the cage or suspending it from the top near a favourite perch is a great way to engage birds and encourages exercise.

Spray millet can be messy, but it should not be placed on the floor of the cage, or it could easily become contaminated with feces and other unhealthy debris. Spray millet is widely available at pet stores wherever bird food is sold and can also easily be ordered online. Bulk packs can be more budget friendly, and unused sprays should be stored in a cool, dry, airtight container to stay fresh for the next treat.
