1LB Spray Millet Treat for Birds, Parakeets, Cockatiel, Budgie, Finches, Parrots, Hamster

Spray millet, also known as finger millet, is a type of grain that is left on the natural stalk instead of being removed. The seeds are tightly packed into round clusters, and individual sprays can be several inches long and contain hundreds of seeds.

The benefits of offering spray millet to birds are numerous. Allowing birds to pick seeds from a stalk and break their natural hulls satisfies their natural instinct to forage, exercising their bill and relieving stress and anxiety. This can be calming for the birds. Offering spray millet is particularly beneficial for young birds during the weaning process, as the extra calories and protein help to ensure healthy growth. Nesting birds can also benefit from the nutrition and stress relief provided by spray millet while they are molting. Additionally, spray millet can entice sick birds to eat and aid in their recovery. For overweight birds, replacing part of their regular diet with spray millet can help reduce overall fat intake, aiding in weight maintenance and control. Further, millet's alkaline nature makes it easier for birds to digest, especially if they have food sensitivity issues. For smaller birds, the spray millet can be cut into smaller pieces to control their consumption.

Many different birds, including finches, juncos, buntings, doves, cardinals, and quail, enjoy spray millet in the wild. In addition, various pet bird species such as budgies, canaries, cockatiels, doves, finches, lovebirds, and parakeets, as well as small pets like hamsters and guinea pigs, also enjoy spray millet.

The 1-pound spray millet averages about 12.6 inches in length. It is free from pesticides and preservatives, making it suitable for all small pets, birds, and wild birds. It is a valuable and long-lasting treat for parakeets, parrots, budgies, finches, cockatiel, hamsters, and many more.

In addition to being a desirable treat, spray millet also offers digestive benefits and serves as a nutritional and protein supplement for birds. It is an excellent source of protein with a high amino acid profile. The spray millet can also be used as a tool for training and interacting with birds outside of their cage.

It's important to note that while birds love this millet treat, it should be given in moderation, allowing the birds to continue eating their main diet as well.
