a varied diet makes for healthier birds! freeze-dried crickets are a great treat, give them a protein boost. chopped carrots are very good for them too, just be sure they are thoroughly washed.
hmmmmm. i hear they like rolled oats? cooked rice is good too.
nothin's wrong with millet, they like it
fed as a sole ration would be bad, but they will eat it and it won't hurt them. just give it to them with their feed or sprinkle it on the ground when they free-range. some of the seeds will potentially grow into plants, so you might want to be careful...
i give mine bird seed, i spread it around the yard when i let them out so they have something to scratch around for. i think it's safe, i've never had any problems with it.
