Help Re Palm nuts .

[rottweilersforever]

Hi all i was wondering if any of you feed palm nuts as i have heard they are very good for their diet.
Any advice would be good : storing them to keep them good , where to buy them and any info .
I ordered some the other day and they are here but i have never even seen anything like them before and when asking people where i could get them they looked at me very strange but went on eBay and found some .

Hi Pauline

I get my palm nuts (they're from Africa, the real deal ) from Rob Harvey...

Parrot food, palm nuts, seeds, diet, african grey

Mojo and Shinda love them! Just put them in the freezer when they arrive and defrost a couple overnight as and when you want to give them. Wash them before feeding, I soak mine in boiled water before giving them as it helps to start the releasing of the oil they so love!

Mine love them too. I order them on-line.
For people, they are good, shelled, toasted and thrown atop of a good salad with some gorgonzola cheese and balsamic dressing... yummy. ** theres no indication here that I just got home from work and am awaiting dinner... is there? **

Kelly, where do you order from?!

[kellywess]

Bird Food, Bird Supply, Parakeet, Parrot, Bird Toys, Bird Cages, Cockatiel food and nesting supplies at Great Companions

They have pretty fair prices compared to other places I order from.

Oops, I thought she said Pine. Ruh Row

In a previous thread someone mentioned that the US prohibits the importation of palm nuts, the 'proper' palm nuts from Africa at least.

even had an issue getting the oil... had ot order it from the states...
