And they seem to produce moths for some strange reason I can't figure out.

Kono - I had the moth problem with the parakeet seeds. They're from the birdseed! I think what happens is when they harvest the millet, the moth eggs or something are included, and when you put the seeds in a warm dish or something they hatch.

You can freeze the seeds in yer freezer - that kills the moth eggs, but preserves the food value.

For anyone interested, this following link is the definitive source of info about parakeets:
