Yes — millet is the classic training treat, especially for budgies and lovebirds. Safe, but ration it: to them it's candy.
Keeper's noteIt's candy to them — ration the spray. An inch of millet spray is the single most effective taming and recall-training tool for small species.
Why millet is good for parrots
Millet is a small, low-fat grain that birds find irresistible — far healthier than sunflower seeds as a reward, but so beloved that free-feeding it derails the rest of the diet. A spray of millet is to a budgie what a birthday cake is to a child.
How to serve it
Break sprays into short lengths for training rewards.
Loose millet works in foraging toys.
Reserve it for earned moments, not the daily bowl.
