My flock used to go absolutely ape-poop over millet. All 4 of them. I only give millet sprays occasionally and only as a treat from the hand. Now, I hardly give them any at all so my husband and son can give the millet, since they need to work on their relationship with Coyote (the calling for me is driving them nuts and my son is getting hurt feelings that Coyote doesn't like him when he's with me).
Funny thing is, it seems like since they get millet rarely now, instead of it being even more treasured, it's like they've forgotten how awesome it is. I can eventually get them all munching on a spray but they definitely do not come running up to it like crazy like they used to.
Anyone else notice something like this?
Edited to add: Their dry diet is a mix of seed mix (I choose mixes that have a LOT of variety of seeds, not just a ton of millet and a few other things) and pellets, that goes with whatever else I feed them like my weird birdy bread concoctions or veggie/egg mashes or whatever. So they're not getting a ton of millet in their regular diet either.
