I went to a pet shop that I had never visited and their whole thing was they had wholesale prices. They had the same toy brands that other stores had and they sold parrots and everyone looked fine and healthy. I was actually in the market for bird feed but they didn't really have anything for small birds so I ended buying millet. It was a pretty large bag for $10. Both budgies loved it and because we were traveling I put a millet spray in their cage and throughout the week we gave them the millet as treats when we handle them. But then I realized their bowel movements were off. Longer, darker, and dryer than normal. I wasn't sure if they were sick or if it was the millet so we removed it from their diet and they're back to normal.
Does anyone know why their bowel movements changed? Was it maybe more iron? Is it safe to consume?
It also made their beaks super shiny like it was more fatty than their regular miller.
