Acai and fids?

[hollyhawkz]

Is anyone in the practice of using Acai (Ah-sah-EE) jucie to feed their fids?

I am especially wondering about anyone who has south american fids....

I just picked up a bottle and according to the "people" dosage, they would only need a drop or two a day. They may gorge themselves on it in their natural habitat... I don't know.

If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it!

as a note, dont order acai online. If you insist, look up ACAI SCAM on like complaintboard.com first.

The companies selling Acai berries/juices online are luring people with free trial offers and then charging their cards $80 4 days later, outrageous stuff.

I saw that on the internet when I was trying to find info... can't be too careful!

At Costco for a while they had an acai berry blueberry juice, Dewey LOVES it. Sometimes I add a little acai berry powder to his food to give him something different.

I buy acai juice from my local grocery and use it as the liquid in muffins and stuff. Fids love it.

I would really love to get fresh acai berries for my toucanets, they are descended from birds that came from Peru, but wild emerald toucanets range throughout various parts of South and central America, I strongly suspect acai is a normal part of their wild diet, and I know they feed on other types of palm fruit. I haven't been able to find any acai fruit anywhere, I have a feeling they would absolutely love the berries. I know it's highly perishable, so fresh ones may be out of the question here, but I would think freezing it would work like it does with other berries.

The closest thing they get now are blueberries, and they eat those like crazy, I've finally decided to start trying to grow some of my own, and hopefully that goes well.

I like acai juice myself.

I've only seen actual acai berries in SA. They were growing on a tree. I picked a handful to try and they tasted nasty! Absolutely nothing like the great tasting juice, very tart. There is a seed in the middle that makes up most of the fruit and only a very small amount of pulp. I suspect this is why we don't see the actual fruit outside of SA. For every pound of fruit I'm sure more that 75% would be seed.

My Mom has succesfully grown palm trees up here hmmmmmmm.
