I thought the French would be better, but I've never seen the French stuff here in Australia. That Chinese millet pic looks like what have in stores. Do these budgies we all keep know how much running around we have to do for them? Hmmmmm? I doubt that |

Do your birds eat milk thistle seeds, Marianne? My guys wouldn't touch them. Even after I husked them for the little blighters.  They probably wont Hezz, but I'd like to try them. Maybe there is some other way I can serve them if they don't eat them?? I crush them up and make a tea infusion and keep in the fridge. I add it to Blue's water and to his eggfood. Something I just thought of now, but haven't tried, is sprinkling some crushed up over the eggfood. But you can get the milk thistle extract in UK, I would love to be able to try that. |

What's the difference between the different types of millet spray? I've only seen millet sprays sold as 'millet spray' here in Australia, not labelled as to variety. Was just about to ask the same question Stace! What is the difference? most sprays come from china , the french sprays are double the pricre of chinese , did you know red sprays can be yellow depending on the soil they are grown in |
