It should always be fed as part of a wider feeding regime, not as a sole food source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Budgie Tonic contain a high proportion of Japanese millet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese millet provides the right type and concentration of proteins for fledglings in the nest.
