Jmxu's 1LB Spray Millet Treat for Parakeets, Cockatiels, Budgies, Finches, Parrots, Hamsters

Spray millet, also known as finger millet, is simply 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 beak, keeping it in good shape and helping to 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 also make use of the nutrition as well as the stress relief when they are molting. The deliciousness of spray millet can also entice sick birds to eat, helping them 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, aiding in weight maintenance and control.

Millet is highly alkaline, making it easier for birds to digest, especially if they have food sensitivity issues and have trouble with other foods. For smaller birds, you can cut the spray millet into smaller pieces to control how much they eat.

A wide range of pet bird species enjoy millet, including budgies, canaries, cockatiels, doves, finches, lovebirds, parakeets, and parrots. In the wild, millet can attract finches, juncos, buntings, doves, cardinals, grouse, and quail, among other birds. Hamsters and guinea pigs are also known to enjoy millet.

Our bird millet is free from pesticides and preservatives, suitable for all small pets, birds, and wild birds. With an average length of about 12.6 inches, you'll get a good value for your parakeets, parrots, budgies, finches, cockatiels, hamsters, and more, without running out quickly.

Millet is one of the better carbohydrates that birds enjoy, as it is highly digestible and essential for a balanced diet. Many grains acidify in the stomach, but millet is highly alkaline, helping to counteract acids and digest more easily.

Millet spray is also an excellent source of protein, with one of the highest amino acid profiles of all the cereal grains. It should be given to any bird as a treat and not the main meal.

Birds Treats are perfect for training and interacting with your birds outside of their cage, as the millet can be easily broken into smaller pieces to entice and reward them. However, birds go crazy for this millet treat, so make sure to give it to them in moderation, so they will also still be eating their main diet.
