Last night I was giving my untamed Parrotlet, Rango, some millet through the bars. I do this each day and he's usually fine but this time while he was eating it he paused and had a very weird expression on his face, he was trying to act normal but started gagging (?) and making small cough sounds, very different to when he adjusts his crop and went on for hours - I could tell the millet was stuck. I couldn't sleep properly because I was afraid that he was slowly choking to death, I could occasionally hear him choking while he was sleeping or making a slight squeak out of discomfort.
He seems to be back to normal now but after looking online I found multiple places that talk about how millet can be dangerous:
Would be grateful for any advice on whether I should stop giving Rango millet? I'm afraid to see him choking again.
