Pumpkin Seed Butter + Coconut Oil

Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried the two items with their greys?

well i have heard that coconut oil is suppose to be good for parrots though i havent found any literature to back up the claims. i suppose you feed it by mixing it in there various foods.

as for the punkin seed butter...i haven't heard anything about.

maybe someone else will know more....sorry i couldn't be more helpful!!!
