    Does washing seedmix with water safe for birds or not?

    HI, I wash my birds seedmix (canary, millet, niger, sunflower, oats etc) with water. Many people said that washing seedmix is good and many people says its harmful for birds. It grows molds and fungus. I am confused about this matter. Which one should I do?

    My cockatiel

    Two weeks ago I got a cockatiel. She is hand tame and loves eating millet! However whenever I open the cage door to let her out she just looks out and goes back in her cage. I haven’t forced her out in any way but I’m not sure what to do now.
