By popular demand, we are now cutting off the stems so now you get more edible Millet for the same amount of money. THIS SEASON'S MILLET IS DARKER BROWN, SO IF YOU SEEK A LIGHT GOLDEN COLOR, SAME AS LAST YEAR, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. HOWEVER, THE BIRDS LIKE IT JUST AS WELL. THIS IS A HUMAN DECISION TO BUY AS BIRDS ENJOY THIS HIGH QUALITY MILLET. Millet is a healthy grain that is required daily for cockatiels and lovebirds, finches and parakeets. Also, some parrots enjoy it as a treat. Our millet is grown in the USA and dried to perfection under strict quality control standards. It may be stored in a cool environment with no issues, and it does not attract other bugs. Also, for live amino acids, try sprouting our millet and provide sprouted millet to all of your pets as the healthiest way to provide birds and other pets with live amino acids, the building blocks of life.
