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. Thanks for the info! That's been bugging the hell out of me. For some reason I had the birds for months with no moths then one day I had moths. Did not switch food either. Anway I ran and put the food in the freezer. Thanks.
