Hello Ada. Looks like they are edible , I am not sure about budgies , but birds in my garden love them. Let me know how many seeds do you need ? I would love to trade for your tomato seeds "Opalka" . Thanks . Galina. I just Googled the Purple Majesty Millet is good for budgies .

It reseeds readily for me, but not to the point where I'd stop growing it. I just pull up all but a few which start themselves in good spots. Some of the ones I pull go into pots, but most just get tossed.

I grew purple millet this spring from seed I collected from a friends plant last year. I had heard that there was a 50/50 chance of getting purple colouring as opposed to green. However, I can report that every single seed germinated and every single one turned purple. Very easy to grow. It does take a while to turn purple however so don't dispair. When the grass was about 10-12 inches high, the rib and the edges of the leaves began to turn. The whole thing didn't turn completely purple until I got them out of the greenhouse and planted them outdooors in full sun.

You want Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum), and you can buy the seeds at Johnnies (linked below). Sow it about an inch deep after the soil has warmed. It will produce best in moist fertile soil, but can adapt. It's a warm season annual, and you'll want to harvest the grain after the grass stem behind the seed heads has turned tan/brown, and the seeds are no longer milky-looking. The birds will start eating it earlier, before it's ripe. Here is a link that might be useful: Millet Seed at Johnnies
