DIY Millet Garden – Endless supply of millet for your small parrot!

For anyone with small birds like budgies etc. you will know how much they love their millet! Millet is a fantastic treat I often use when training but it can get expensive fast, sometimes stores run out and it is out of stock for a while.

Millet is actually super easy to grow for your birds, Even if you don’t have a green thumb you can likely grow some millet.

Steps

1. Take some potting soil and place it into a pot
2. Sprinkle some millet seeds (from your store-bought millet) on top of the soil
3. Add a very small layer of dirt on top of the millet
4. Water
5. Place in a sunny spot (or under grow lights if you have those)
6. water when the soil is dry

They will be ready to harvest once the spray millet has gone yellow.  Simply cut the spray millet from the plant and keep watering the plant when it gets dry.
