Feeding & Storage Tips

• Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place to keep it fresh and pest-free.
• Put out only what gets eaten in a day so it doesn't sit wet on the ground.
• Juncos arrive in eastern Nebraska in winter; millet on the ground brings them in.
• Feed near shrubs so ground-feeders have cover close by.

FAQ

Can I use it in a tube feeder?
It works, but most birds that love millet feed on the ground, so a low platform or the ground is better.

Will it attract blackbirds?
It can. Offer small amounts and use a ground platform feeder you can clean easily.

Will it sprout?
Millet is in the shell and can sprout where it falls, so rake up leftovers.

Which birds will I see?
Mostly juncos, sparrows and doves; towhees and buntings in season.
