I don't know what *black* millet is but when I go to the animal feeds place that I buy all my food, I purchase about 20 to 25 sprigs of millet. They're all loose and a person can pick which the ones they want. I usually get the ones that are about 15 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter. They cost me $.63 each. They also sell the thinner ones that are given to smaller parrots. The color of the millet I buy is beige. I give them to all my greys and my 2 quakers. I cut them into 6 inch pieces and hand them out. Matter of fact, I gotta pick up a few things today and I'm getting another load of them.

My birds love millet,especially cracker.I have given them a reddish coloured millet,I am not sure if this is what you are refering to.If it is a product for birds it should be ok.

You can send some on down to me Dave, heh heh.

 

I am going to have to get my hubby to plant some like he did one year, I could go out into the backyard and pick it off for the birds, they loved it.
