The millets are a group of small-seeded species of cereal crops, widely grown around the world for food and fodder.
The millets include species in several genera, mostly in the subfamily Panicoideae, of the grass family Poaceae.
Millet sprays are often recommended as healthy treats to finicky pet birds, as they are easily eaten and (in the case of destructive-prone hookbills) easily broken.
