Spray millet is like a drug to most birds, especially to Cockatiels and Parakeets! Here we like to offer spray millet as a "special treat" and make them work a little bit for it...can't just hand out the "good stuff" w/o some foraging behind it. We'll put it in jars w/holes and it's amazing watching them forage for it, hide it under their rocks in their exhibit so they have to work at pulling it out...anything to make them think and work a little bit. They are SO busy in the wild working and looking for food we often make it just too darn easy as a pet!
If you have any great tips or tricks to get your bird working for his or her food, please share!
