Have had these below pop up in the veggie patch, and just wanted to make sure they're good value for the Gouldians .....

Definitely a millet. Hard to tell from a small blurry pic, but I'd hesitate a guess at Japanese Millet... maybe?

The top one is summer grass (digitaria sp) which is a non native. Second one is barnyard grass (echinochloa sp) also non native. My birds aren't too impressed with barnyard grass but love summer grass and red pan at those stages.

wait until its half ripe and they will eat /enjoy it.
when you pick the barnyard grass it will tend to drop some seed as you do....that's when they will enjoy it most.
the barnyard grass in particular wont be consumed green(premature) or the red millet.
