After dinner, I popped some no fat no salt popcorn and gave Bella a choice. Millet or popcorn. She chose the millet. What would your birds choose?

My birds would go for the popcorn because they only get it once in a while.

My guys love popcorn.

I've never given them millet though. Maybe I should buy a stand and see!

I've never had any birds that liked popcorn. It's usually millet, sunflower seeds, or safflower seeds that they go for.

Burt would go the plain popcorn without a doubt - I offered him millet a few times and he looked at me like I was stupid picked it up and dropped it on the floor like it felt revolting.

Squeak would go for the millet cos he looks at me like I’m drunk if I offer him popcorn.

Millet. Weirdly, my birds don't like popcorn. Or at least Elvis and Scooter don't. I haven't tried any with Rosie yet.

From my experience, all my birds were obsessed with millet, but I never actually tried popcorn because a) I wasn't sure if my smaller birds would like it and b) we only eat buttered. Do anyone's budgies like plain popcorn?

I have some of those tiny cobs that are sold for birds, the kernels make mini sized popcorn! My birds will eat it, although my two linnies will eat nearly anything, but my incredibly picky lovebird will nibble some, too.

I did not think you could pop those! Definitely something I'd try out someday, because I wanted to find them a bite-sized treat if I try to make foraging toys for them. From what I know, incorporating millet is a waste unless you somehow try to hide and tie it to the toy at the same time... :huh:

I've never gave my birds popcorn so far, but I think both would go for the popcorn.
They're not afraid of trying new things as long as it isn't fruit or vegetables :roflmao:
