Posted September 15, 200816 yr Hi all, just noticing that my young cock Bill has been mainly only eating the millet out of the Budgie mix I have bought him which was not from a supermarket but fresh seed from a pet store... when I blow the husks out its the oats etc that seem to be left...also if I put a spray of millet in his cage then this only is eaten and he wont eat his mix at all that day.... Is this a seasonal thing where he needs more of something so he eats the seed that provides that... or a growth thing as he must be getting close to a moult?? He is still eating eucalyptus and wattyl when its put in his cage.... Aaron and Bill.
September 15, 200816 yr The millet is candy to a budgie so he would rather eat the candy than his real dinner
September 15, 200816 yr Switch to standard finch seed ( more variety which he will eat) and add some hulled oats. Don't forget to give him his greens

September 15, 200816 yr The ones that look like a cross between a coffee bean and a rice grain Porridge is made out of rolled out versions of them She's doing well, eating well but is sooky and screams on the odd occasion, but she's growing out of that now
