Chinese Millet Sprays
Couldn't load pickup availability
Fresh golden sprays with excellent germination results. Suitable for Budgies, Parakeets and Finches.
Our Millet Sprays are shipped to Haith's direct from China and come into their own when babies are being weaned (sprays can encourage them to eat when they have not found the seed pots) and at shows after judging.
Perfect for Breeding and Show Preparation.
Some breeders recommend soaking and washing sprays thoroughly with an aviary disinfectant. Soaking softens sprays and that makes it easier for young birds to eat the sprays.

How to incorporate Chinese Millet Sprays into a balanced avian diet:
-
Combine with other seeds
Mix millet sprays with a variety of other seeds to ensure your birds are getting a range of nutrients. Each type of seed has its unique nutritional profile, so a mix can provide a more balanced diet.
-
Moderation is key
While millet sprays are a favourite among many birds, they should be offered in moderation. Treat them as a supplement to the main diet, not as the primary food source.
-
Regular health checks
Monitor your birds' health and adjust their diet as needed. If you notice any changes in weight or behaviour, consult with a veterinarian to ensure their dietary needs are being met.
-
Avoid sudden dietary changes
Any changes to your birds' diet, including the introduction of millet sprays, should be done gradually. Sudden changes can cause digestive upset or food rejection.
