I just got a 16oz bag of Hemp seed to use as a treat for my Scarlet Chested Parakeet. All I can say is WOW, he loves it. I will use it along with millet for training. I think right now he will get some in a dish on his playgym to get used to flying to it. Once he gets use to it there, I will feed him from my hand, and have him come to me if he wants the treat.
Both of my birds LOVE hemp seed! I use it primarily for clicker training sessions, but also give them one when I walk by their cages, can't help myself!
It's a small, hard shelled seed, larger than a millet seed. My Parrotlet can actually crack them open and eat the seed faster than my Conure, so the size is perfect for us!
I save the hemp seeds specifically for training, and I also usually give each bird one seed now and then when I walk by their cages, so they know my fingers bring good things! But it's not given to them with their regular food.
