Please note: This product might take a little longer to arrive as it may be shipped from outside the UK. Foxtail millet is a tasty, easy to digest treat which birds adore. Parakeets, canaries, and exotic birds all love foxtail millet and especially enjoy picking the seeds out of the husks. It is easy to attach the millet to the cage with a clip or clothes peg. JR Farm Foxtail Millet is great way to give your bird a delicious treat and keep it amused at the same time. Foxtail millet is suitable for breeding pairs or when raising a young bird and it provides an important food supplement if your bird is ill. For extra security, we recommend you also order a holder to fix to the cage.

Good to know
- Never give salted, sugary or chocolate-coated human snacks to birds.
- Count treats as part of the daily ration and reduce the main food a little on heavy treat days.
- Hang one seed stick at a time and remove it after a few days so it does not replace the regular diet.
Common questions
What treats can canaries have?
Canaries enjoy millet sprays, small-seed treat sticks, egg food and fresh greens. Choose treats made for canaries or small finches so the seeds are the right size. Keep portions small, since canaries are prone to putting on weight.
How often can I give my budgie a millet spray?
Millet is a treat, not a main food, so short pieces a few times a week are plenty for a healthy adult. Many owners use it mainly for taming and training. Unwell or underweight birds are sometimes given more millet on vet advice, as it encourages them to eat.
