Oh, I did have one more quick question. I get millet spray for my doves as a snack, and they love it. Peeko does too (as a treat), but I read today that millet has no nutritional value at all and it shouldn't be offered to parrots, because its basically potato chips for birds. Is there any truth to this? A friend of mine's avian vet actually told her, specifically, to give her sick parrotlet lots of millet while she recovered from a fungal infection, and infected toe from a bite from one of her other parrots. I've never heard of a doctor prescribing potato chips to a sick person, so something isn't adding up?
