Pet shop - just ask for finch seed or wild bird seed or any damn generic seed. Finch is normally 50% millet - and it work great

Thanks for the help guys. I guess I was on the right track. All I could find that was pure millet was millet sprays. Thanks again!

I just bought hartz parakeet feed from Walmart and it's probably 80-90% millet with a few other things added in. A 5lb bag was only $2.49.

Health food has it, but I think I remember reading that you can't use it (I forgot the reason). If you want pure millet, go to feed stores.

ummm.... organic millet (what they shold have in the health store should work fine, skikid i think your confused with maybe husked barley oat or some shiznit) one problem i find with different loads of millet is water retaining properties change by the batch, some require 80g of h2o for 100g of millet, and others are in the 95g h2o for 100g of millet...

I may be confused, I don't know, I've never bought it from a health food store, its too expensive. I just get Penningtons Wild Birdseed from walmart. But I remember reading in these forums that millet from health food stores shouldn't be used, but then again, I am a stoner.

I get a 50 pound bag of pure white millet at the local pet superstore for nine bucks. Works great, and you don't have to skim off those damn sunflower seeds.

millet spray is the plant that millet seeds come from. It looks like a dry fern with millet buds gowing from its fronds. That shit would be a pain in the arse to prepare and its sold dry so a lot of the seeds have dropped off already.

yes, i believe the reason is that the stuff in health food stores most likely has it's hull removed. we want the stuff with the hull still on, like in birdseed.
