I had a flock of nutmeg mannikins in the back yard yesterday eating seeds from a grassy weed that never got pulled. I cut off some of the stems and offered them to my birds, who are fighting over them! This weed grows all over my back yard just like, well, a weed! I've never let one get so big that it goes to seed. I'm going to transplant them and also plant some of these seeds and see if I can't get a bed of them growing. I've never seen them enjoy a food so much.

Looks a bit like normal common Rye grass,

Most if not all Mannikins and Munias will thrive on this

you can buy rye grass seed and plant it in trays to exchange out in your aviary
