Maltbys' Stores Millet Sprays

Millet sprays have been used for many years as a supplementary diet aid (as well as a tasty snack!) for a huge variety of cage and aviary birds. Millet is a fantastically versatile seed which is lower in fat than some other grains, and can provide a source of protein, phosphorous, magnesium and calcium, all of which your bird will need to maintain a balanced diet. Birds also love the taste of it, and when given in moderation alongside their regular food it can provide a delicious treat for your feathered friends.

Aviary and cage birds also love millet sprays because it satisfies their natural desire to forage for their own food. The seeds are packed tightly in small clusters on the stalks, meaning birds will happily peck away at them for hours. Try tying the millet to the side of the cage or dangling it from above to encourage your bird to be more active. This gives them not only nutritional value, but entertainment and mental stimulation too.

Frequently Asked Questions about Millet Sprays

Where do millet sprays come from?

Millet is a type of grain which originated from Asia and Africa. Often the stalks are stripped of their seeds, which are used as a foodstuff in their own right or form part of many bird seed mixes. However, millet sprays are left in their entirely natural form, with the seeds still clustered on the stalks. They generally vary in length between 8-12" (20-30cm) and are usually a light tan or pale yellow colour.

What sort of birds are millet sprays good for?

Almost all varieties of pet bird will enjoy millet sprays, including budgies, cockatiels, finches, canaries, doves, lovebirds, parakeets and parrots. It is best suited to smaller birds with shorter, more delicate beaks, but larger species like cockatoos and macaws may still peck at the seeds. Millet can also be used for wild bird feeding, and has been known to attract a range of wild bird species including finches, doves, buntings and quail.

How much millet should I be giving my birds?

As with all food supplements for pets, millet sprays are best used in moderation and as part of a balanced diet. Ensure you use millet sprays alongside your bird's usual seed, and try to vary their intake by also providing things like fruit and pellets. If you have smaller birds and are concerned the millet sprays may be too large to give them all at once, they can easily be cut into pieces and given a bit at a time.
