My girls love the wild bird seed that I feed the cardinals and dove. Doesn't seem to hurt them one bit!

Greetings from Kansas, ksmbeach, and . Pleased you joined us. I agree with the above. Most bird seed is milo, sunflower seeds, cracked corn, millet, maybe some safflower seeds...all are appropriate as a treat. Best wishes and enjoy BYC

Welcome to BYC! It's great to have you.

Wild bird seed is an excellent treat. Just make sure that treats such as seed don't exceed 10% of the diet total.
