The lady I got Dusk from said she bought a bag of tiel seed, a bag of pellets, and a bag of parakeet seed, and mixed all these together to make their standard food.

Is millet something else that should be limited somewhat or is it fine to give it to them regularly?
Millet is actually very good for them. Its not a fatty seed, and they get good exercise by *wrestling* with it when they eat it. I personally give them 2 millet sprays a week...sometimes just one. They finish it way too fast. Their seed mixes all have millet too though, but there's something about the millet spray that they seem to enjoy so much.
