A couple of weeks ago I bought a box of millet. I put some in the cage but my birds approached it and did not touch it. I smelled the millet and imediately thought it smelled moldy. I took out the millet and went and got a smaller box of red millet which had no particular smell. Usually my birds like the millet no matter what the color.

 

This week I bought two types of millet of another brand. One of them is scented with aniseed. The millet smells fine but what if underneath the aniseed odor there is mold. I can't smell any mold and the birds like it. I wonder how safe this scented millet is for my birds. What do you all think.

 

I threw out the moldy millet by the way, all of it.

well I wouldnt use any if you are worried, maybe just find a good quality one that the pet store makes themselves, I dobt use it much, i just do seed and fruita and veg.

I'm going to try to grow some on the balcony. I know it will take a long time. In the meantime I guess I will only buy the red millet. It is more expensive but there is no aniseed smell so I can really tell if the odor is right.
