Therefore, the birds have to work a little for their food, picking the grains individually from the seed head, which promotes a more natural feeding behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Feeding recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eMillet sprays should only be offered to birds in small quantities as a treat, as they are relatively low in fat but can lead to obesity if consumed in excess. Furthermore, exclusively consuming millet sprays or panicles can lead to nutritional deficiencies, as the diet would be too monotonous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e The nutritional value of millet sprays compared to other bird foods\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Millet contains relatively little fat compared to other bird foods such as sunflower seeds.
