What is this?

It's growing in the bird sanctuary, so I'm assuming it's something from their feed, and/or their travels. Any help would be appreciated. I'm talking about the weed (I know, there are many in there) that is tall like a corn stalk type thing with the seeds on top.

Thanks anyone caring to try to ID it

I would have guesses some sort of millet...

Hm...thanks! I figured it was probably something in the seed mix. I'll have to read the bag next time we replenish and see what's in there. I'm sure about the millet and not about the others, but I'll look

My first guess would have been millet too. The leaves sure do look like the ones in this image I found.

Hmm...Interesting. The leaves sure look the same, the seeds aren't so straight up and compact like that. Maybe a different flavor hey?

Thanks everyone!
