Millet

[JayJ]

The other day a friend of a friend purchased some millet from a bulk feedstock supply store. He was offered japanese (Echinochloa esculenta) or white french (Panicum miliaceum). Not having much experience in this area he chose the japanese because it looked more interesting, however since his purchase he's been doing more reading- & he told me that the use of the white french is much more common - is there a reason for this?. My friend wants to know if using the japanese will be ok? *Considering that millet is dirt cheap he doesn't mind using the japanese to feed his birds and getting some french white if that would be better.

Any input would be appreciated

Thanks

I was always under the impression that red millet was the stuff to use.

Isn't white a little small? I got a whole bag of it I'm currently disregarding.
