How do I hang millet?

Since it's food, thought I'd ask here. I bought some millet for my blue-fronted amazon. How do I hang it in his cage?

I shove the stem through the top of the cage and use a clip outside the cage to hold it.

I do as Christie stated, I have read where smaller birds get caught in the millet holders.

I use a bread tie and tie it to the cage yeah i dont like the millet holders either cause my bird has a fit and he pulls at the millet holder and makes it fall and then he goes to screaming because he did not get what he wanted . LOL !! he is very spoiled.
