WHITE PROSO MILLET

Millet is usually available from most garden centers that sell bird feeders  and bird houses, or check pet stores, feed mills, or wild bird centers. The cost is better when bought in bulk or
by the twenty or fifty pound bag. 

Remember to use millet for training or as a reward for your guineas coming to you when called.  It is not advisable to mix millet in with the evening meal just because your keets or adult birds like it, or it will soon become nothing "special".

Think of millet as though it were candy, and do not over do.   A teaspoon or two per adult is a treat!

Above, AmyOH offers her keets in training a handfull of White Proso Millet.

 


Start offering no sooner than 10 days, and only as a very special treat. Use the same word or phrase each time
it is offered so the guineas learn to associate what you are saying with theirwhite proso millet treat.


Photo donated by Jean M. who has this to say: "Frit has it correct with the dropping it and making 'plunking' sounds and
letting it 'bounce and roll'. Catches their attention...and seems bug like..? I too start at 7 to 10 days...after that they come
as soon as they hear the call. I don't give them any significant amount...just enough to imprint the call and treat this young. "

 

Use a miniature bird feeder for surprise snack to keep your guineas checking back in from time to time.
 Place the feeder in an area you want your guineas to frequent when on range.
