Deborah,
Green seed is the same as Milk seed. Below are a couple of articles on this subject. The first is the diet that is fed to the gouldians in the "Save the Gouldian Fund" organization. Extremely enlightning for all who want the best diet for their goulds.

My local birds sometimes peck at mine...especially doves. My birds will devour it...I usually don't have any left to dry.

Wow, Candance those articles are very interesting. They do such great research over there. I use Mike's food and seeds, and my finches seem to be thriving on it. Thank you for posting the articles.

Re: millet is finally growing in my apartment
Deborah,
That millet looks great! I have to try that too. I'll do a pot inside now but I will have to try it outside too in spring.
I wonder what climate is best. Georgia is very hot and humid, that's not good for all plants.
