Alfie doesn't seem to be into millet. He flapped like mad when I put some in this morning and when I offered him so this evening to try and hand tame him he just wouldn't come near. He was happy to take ordinary seeds from my hand though.
What treats do you give to get your budgie's heart racing with excitement?

Hi! Mine love millet - so I feed them a thumb sized bit each twice a week. They also love dried egg food with grated carrot to make it moist. Mine seem to get generally excited at food!! ;D
Once a month I put in a honey seed stick with fruit or something which they love too.
When I first got Jasper he just didn't seem to know what Millet was - I don't think they fed any to him in the pet shop. I just left a bit in the cage for ages and now he loves it. but if Alfie loves seeds and you can hand tame him that way - carry on! Sometimes, new foods can take weeks before they take to them!

I do agree with Ginger - new food can take a while before they realise it is food. I mentioned on your taming thread, angelgirl, about offering the millet in smaller pieces. Try this and see how he reacts. If you have no immediate results, do as Ginger did, and just leave a bit with him. Hopefully he will realise he can't live without it!

Mine love herbs the most at the moment - Basil and Dill. They also love corn on the cob.

I have tried Tommy and Sky with Round lettuce, which they loved, Dandelieons, they loved, boiled egg, Tommy liked it Sky didn't, grated carrott they wouldn't eat, but sliced thinly and clipped to the cage they liked, mango they didn't really bother with, Kiwi they were not bothered with and grass with seeds, Sky liked that......after she played with it lol Got lots more to try :-)
