Milo vs. wheat as a winter supplement

Had a question from someone in NW OK about whether wheat (seeds) was a satisfactory supplemental feed for quail, or if she should be using milo. I forwarded the question to Kent Mills, a nutritionist with Hi-Pro Feed in Snyder. Here's Kent's reply:

++++++
Wheat is higher in protein than most of our other grains and the starch
is more readily available, at least in ruminants and I assume that in
birds it is similar. Birds really like wheat, so I assume that it
supplies nutrients that benefit them as most animals prefer the foods
that give them the most benefit. Most companies put some wheat in their
chicken scratch and since wheat is the most expensive of the grains,
then there must be a demand, and a good reason, for doing that.
