Tricky Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Superfood is a drink by Odwalla that I happen to love, I figured it would be good for Jack because it has Spirulina and barley grass, which I read are very good for parrots. Do all of these ingredients look okay for greys? I'd like an excuse to buy some more. =P * Apple Juice * Peach * Mango * Strawberry and Banana Puree * Spirulina * Soy Lecithin * Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) * Wheat Grass * Barley Grass * Wheat Sprouts * Jerusalem Artichoke * Lemon Bioflavonoid * Nova Scotia Dulse It's tasty, I swear.

Talon Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Well, I don't know about the last 2 ingredients, but the others look fine. You say it is tasty eh? Have to take your word for it. I look forward to hearing what others think....:cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Here's something I found on bioflavonoids... "Bioflavonoids, or flavonoids, can be found in the pigments of fruits and vegetables. Research has shown that about 1 g of flavonoids are consumed daily, mostly as glycosides. Flavonoids demonstrate potential antimutagenicity ability as well as antioxidant activity. Recently, studies have taken a look at flavonoids role in the prevention of carcinogenesis, as well as in the maintenance of capillaries. Bioflavonoids are an important part of the daily diet. They function closely with Vitamin C and it is recommended that the two are consumed together." I would assume it would be fine... The dictionary defines dulse as a coarse, red, edible seaweed; or as an edible red algae. Here is a link to its "nutrition facts": http://www.grandmanannb.com/dulse.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lidia Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 It does sound yum and looks fine. As with everything else, though, I'd say let Jack drink it in moderation so he doesn't fill up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Awesome. I'll tell my mom to pick some up next time she goes to the grocery store. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Well I guess we have to take your word for the tastiness of it, I have never heard of it, but like the others said give it in moderation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 I will. I was just reading something on parrot nutrition and saw the stuff on spirulina and barley grass and I was like, "Hey! I eat that too." haha:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawzy4 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Tricky dont know about you guy's but here in the uk we eat dulse. and its naturally very salty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Aha! I will be very careful. It's the last ingredient, so I think a bit won't hurt him, but I won't give him too much. Thanks for the tip. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 i can honestly say shawzy ive never eaten dulse, i dont even know what it is, but given that i's in a fruit drink there cat be much of it if it's salty, otherwise that drink wouldnt be very nice :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lidia Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 What is dulce? Is it a type of seaweedy/kelpy thing? Or one of those plants that grows in the margins and on sand dunes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawzy4 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Dulse grows under the sea, and is collected when the tide goes out, once collected it,s dryed in the sun then eaten... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 I bought some Superfood yesterday, Jacques didn't get any yet because he was being a nasty little sneak when I tried to take him out to let him taste it. I'll let him try it today and let you know what he thinks. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 He would not taste one bit, unsuprisingly. Oh well, I enjoyed it. =P ...Jacques just ate a peanut shell... :blink: He'll eat the shell of a peanut but he won't try Odwalla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
