Can budgies eat millet?

Yes, but only a little: budgies can eat millet spray. Millet in a seed mix is a staple. The German Animal Welfare Federation calls millet spray very high in energy. It is popular but should be given only rarely; the Swiss animal welfare society (STS) suggests once a week. Millet in a seed mix, on the other hand, is not a treat: Germany’s Veterinary Association for Animal Welfare (TVT) counts millet among the seeds that make up the basic diet.

How to serve it: a small piece of millet spray to pick at

Good to know: Millet spray every day is too much – it is a treat, not a staple.
