Hello everyone and thank you for all your feed back. I am just finishing up the last little things and I hope to have it available after the first of the year. Please keep in mind that this is a basic quality millet mix and other seed mixtures should be incorporated for molt and winter etc. My Hubby has the specifics of the mix but I think the percentages go like this.

30% Browntop Millet
30% Japanese Millet
20% German Foxtail Millet
10% Dove Proso
5% Red Millet
5% White Millet

Ooooh, I'm so happy to see you post! I'm really really really excited about this mix! :) Please let me know the nitty gritty details when you have them available, such as the the increments the mix will be available in. I have noticed that my birds eat a lot of white millet and canary seed, BUT as you said, I do plan on incorporating other mixtures that I can readily find available locally. I know for sure that my birds love BOTH the Browntop and the Japanese Millet. :) Thank you so much for this wonderful update.

Anymore news about how the process is going? Would there be any possible way of getting some of this seed shipped to Canada when it is available for purchase 8) :lol:

It is a separate business and not through Hancock Seed...best to send her a pm...she has it bagged and mixed and the sales are off her own website.

This is her business Roose Green Solutions

It is a separate business for her, she purchases the seed from them.

Here is the contact page for her.

I live near her and she has been working on getting more bird products onto the site.

Dayna if you are interested in ordering seed you can also contact her via email at

Dayna, be sure to mention you are in Canada, I am unclear on whether she can ship seed into canada or not.
