What is Milo?

Last year I found a good deal at Tractor Supply on bird seed like what you're describing. I ending up with piles of food on the ground that nobody would eat--they wanted only the sunflower seeds. So this year I'm feeding black oil sunflower seed exclusively and there is no waste at all!

The only Milo I know is a granulated malty chocolate type powder that you mix with milk? It's very popular in Australia and is supposed to be full of a number of essential vitamins and minerals. I wonder if it's the same thing? I used to feed wild birds millet and would tie it in bunches to a tree just near my rear verandah. I also had some local bottlebrush trees as well that would attract a lot of wild bords when they flowered. The odd thing about where I live now though, is that I don;t see many birds at all. Apart from pigeons, Cairo doesn't seem to have many other types of birds in abundance. Not hat I've seen anyway!

It's funny you should say that. I had a bird singing here at two-thirty in the morning yesterday. I can't imagine it's a nightingale at this time of year, so I'm intrigued as to what it was. Do you know of any birds that sing in the dark? It was a dark moon also, so it wasn't singing by the light of the moon! When it comes to feeding, I feed seed, peanuts and cake crumbs to the birds, plus I like to hand a coconut shell from the table, filled with a mix of fat and seeds. I don't try to attract one kind of bird, no... I love to see all sorts, and use wildbird seed like you. Brightest Blessings my friend.

The Milo that I know is a chocolate drink that is drink during mornings most of young children but can also be consume by adults. I don't know exactly, what milo is included in bird food.

Milo is a grain sorghum. I don't feed the birds bird seed, the house behind me does though. I do feed hummingbirds and we normally buy the stuff to mix up with the water instead of using sugar water.

Milo is sorghum, and resembles millet. As far as I can see, the only birds it attracts are pigeons and doves. It sounds like you have a good mix, blended to attract a variety of birds. It's also good that it doesn't contain red millet...birds hate that stuff and just scatter it out of the feeders. Then it makes a weedy mess in that area of your yard or garden. Here's a good website that explains different birdseed ingredients and the birds they attract. You have to scroll down for that breakdown, but it is informative. http://www.wild-bird-watching.com/Bird_Seed.html

Milo is a crop also known as grain sorghum. It is used as people food in other countries, and as animal food mostly in the United States. I just buy whatever when it comes to bird food. I know that black oil sunflower seeds attract cardinals.

I usually buy wild birdfood, it attracts all kinds of birds, but I've noticed we have a lot of cardinals that come and eat, I also buy the black sunflower seeds, they seem to like those the most, I usually just mix both kinds together.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, Yeah, I do the same as well and when I go out to feed them I call them, the first two birds athe robins after that come one, come all. Tamara

Happy posting!!
