gave sparky her 1st millet yesterday only a small bit in my finger but she was straight gobbling it fast then she started as if she was choking i really panicked and took the millet away , kept gettin up in night but she was ok n fine n eating well, tried her on a bit more tonite but kept moving it away so she cudnt gobble it down, wud hate to give her anything to make her ill ,am just gonna give her tiny bits when i home n not leave it in her cage in case , do you think she was just eating a little fast/?
When i put millet in the aviary where i house 8 budgies, they will nearly take my hand off, in their rush to get at it, and within half an hour it is gone. I shouldn`t worry about your sparky gobbling it down, budgies love millet. it`s the same when i put millet in my other cages, they will strip in down in a day or two, and thats the breeding pairs. Even my canarys will give it a good bashing, especially in the winter. It will be fine to leave it in the cage.
