JillyBeanz Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I used to have spare money - until Harvey firmly established himself in the family! Actually - he didn't even have a talon across the threshold and he was costing me a fortune, already!! :laugh: I now buy something EVERY week as a treat - he's costing me a fortune. My latest, whilst browsing was his palm nuts (which he loves) but alongside these there was sugar cane - so that's my impulse buy this week - but what the heck do you do with it! Do you drill it and hang it or what!! I'd be grateful for the answer - and also find out what you impulse bought and whether you found a use for it!

judygram Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I never have spare money, I just spend money that was supposed to go somewhere else but I do find myself looking for more things for my birds. I wished we could get those palm nuts here but will just have to settle for palm oil. I've never been able to find any sugar cane so wouldn't even know what it looked like but maybe someone has given it to their greys before and can help you with your "problem":whistle: :woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingles Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Sugar cane? cool! Do you have a picture? Because I also don't even know what it looks like... My last impulse buy was for me. Candy...because it's a crappy day and I needed some sugar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave007 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Sugar Cane provides parrots, cockatoos and macaws with a natural treat; the sugar cane is available in two handy pack sizes that we despatch in a frozen state from our premises. Once the sugar cane arrives at your premises you can simply re-freeze it for up to 12 to 18 months (just like the frozen Palm Nuts) Once the sugar-cane has been completely de-frosted it is best stored our of the plastic packet in the fridge. Sugar cane treats will provide your parrots with hours of fun chewing it to bits.

Luvparrots Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Thanks for providing the video,Dave. Now I'm going to have to go out and buy some sugar cane. Impulse buying me, NEVER!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimaysmommy Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I'm really interested!!! I never thought of sugarcane before....anyone have any idea of the nutritional value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Sugar Cane is a nutritious natural treat suitable for all Parrots. Full of natural vitamins and minerals. BUT, remember that not every treat you give a parrot has to be nutritious.They deserve a break too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Dave - Do you offer sugar cane. I ask because of the way your post is written. If you do, I'll buy it. I can never find it in a store. I look for it constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cf737 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Oh Jill. Impulse buying is SUCH a problem for me! Honestly, I'm working while being in school for the purpose of making money for school! But I work at a breeders! How does that help? It doesn't! I come home with something new for either Darwin, Sprite or Luna at least twice a week. It's brutal but I cannot help myself! At least I can say that as long as I work there, Darwin will never get bored! :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovethatgrey Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I purchase my sugar cane in Chinatown and ethnic produce stores. Emma and Sachi love sugarcane.{Feel-good-00020114} P.S I love it too.<br><br>Post edited by: lovethatgrey, at: 2009/09/30 05:35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhorje Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I am going to get some sugar canes from my neighbor. I hope Koko will love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Jill, I don't call it impulse buying... I say I am planning ahead, economizing, nesting, LOL. This used to be a lovely armoire in my bedroom with books and cds and gift wrap. Juno isn't even home yet and I have been trying to "preplan" toy making supplies, first aid, cleaning aids... you know, you don't want to run out at the last minute and get overcharged... LOL. Now with all your great ideas, I need a whole freezer section for the sugar cane, palm nuts and other delicacies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane08 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Jeez that is one big pantry of bird stuff Katana. It's like we are packing to move at the moment and my boyfriend said the birds have 6 boxes of stuff to move and I am like what the heck they have more boxes than me. We also give them sugar cane and I just jam it in between the bars of the cage, or I cut it into bits that are easier for them to manage and then they just hold it and munch away.
