Description

Milo seed is often considered filler or waste in birdseed mixes, but it can still be a useful type of birdseed depending on how much is offered, what types of feeders are used and what birds are coming to the buffet. While not suitable for every bird feeding station, milo can be a good addition to feeders in the right area and if offered in the proper quantities. About Milo Birdseed : Milo seed (Sorghum bicolor) is a type of grass grain, also called sorghum, durra, or jowari. It comes in two varieties, white and red, and the red is a more common part of inexpensive birdseed mixes. Because it is a large grain, approximately the size of a BB, it is a bulky addition to mixes that can make quantities seem much larger. Milo can make up 40-50 percent of the cheapest birdseed mixes. The nutritional composition of milo is not impressive – it is primarily carbohydrates, and while that starch can be valuable, it is not as concentrated an energy source as fats or oils, and many birds have more difficulty digesting milo, which can lead to more feces. The grain is a good source of iron and fiber, and includes trace amounts of calcium, but birds can also meet their needs for iron, fiber and calcium through much better food sources. In addition to its use in birdseed, milo is a popular food source for humans and livestock, particularly in less developed areas where the cheapness of the grain is an asset. Birds That Eat Milo : While milo seed is not the most popular type of seed for a wide variety of backyard birds, there are birds that will readily accept this grain as part of their diet.
