Are you talking about what we can get from Ivan?
No, sorry but that last millet I got from Ivan wasn't very good.

I bought a huge box from the bird mart and it last me forever and was good millet.
I wouldn't buy any millet from him anymore either... :-(

But I also got some seed last time from somebody else (forgot the name) at the bird fair and it has tons of moths in it. I am constantly fighting them ever since I brought that seed home. Unfortunately, you can't look into seed bags...
Walk-in aviary with Waxbills (6 Cordon Bleu, 3 Orange Cheek, 3 Black-rumped, 1 Lavender, ), 1 European Goldfinch, 4 Gouldians, 2 Spice Finches, 6 Owl Finches, 4 Budgies and 2 male Button Quail.
I also have 2 parrotlets, 3 dogs, 1 snake and 3 freshwater fishtanks.

Unfortunately many times bird fairs are a place to unload old stock cheap. The vendors I know take whatever isn't selling at the store, stone and motar store or online store that isn't selling. Seems it will sell at the bird fairs.
I never buy my seed/millet or undated medications from fairs after too many bad/spoiled products unless I know the integrity of the vendor...And I must say there are some great ones.
I asked one time if I could open a box of millet up and look at it before buying. I was told no..... no sell here.
