Makena Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Wow.. that is awesome!! I am glad that is working out. We have a great farmers market here on Saturdays that I am going to hit up next weekend. The will probably have palm nuts there and other crazy types of tropical fruit!! We have a friend here who has a parrot and said her bird loves starfruit... I am gonna try that too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Hi Dan, Any luck with the Palm nuts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Dan, have you ordered any palm nuts yet? I am curious about these nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 My in-laws live in Naples, FL. I wonder if we could get some palm nuts while we were there and bring them home. Maybe I could get less than 50 lbs. I'll have to look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yes please check on that, Penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I have not ordered any yet. I am trying to get enough local people willing to take 5 to 10 pounds each, since it is a 50 lb minimum order. When we visited our Breeders Saturday night, I brought the topic up. They are interested in some and are talking to another breeder in a city only 15 miles away that has 6 pairs of African Greys. I should know by this Saturday if it's a green light to order. :-) I sure want some badly......if someone doesn't commit soon, I will just order 50 lb, stuff what I can in my freezer and throw the rest away once they turn vinegary. :woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 It does sound promising Dan i hope the other breeder wants some so you can divide the costs,I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 He will probably have the luck to order those nuts and Dayo won't eat them, now that would be something wouldn't it, all that trouble and expense of getting those palm nuts, then out with the garbage.:ohmy:<br><br>Post edited by: judygram, at: 2007/08/29 21:46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Judy i dont know of a grey yet who hasn't eaten palm nuts, but there is always the exception to the rule ! hope is's not going to be Dayo :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Nice tip, I am living in the land of palm nuts....going to get some right away!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 Glad to hear it Trina, let us know how you get on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number6 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hey Dan, if you do order some and have extra, I'll buy some from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Judygram - If Dayo doesn't eat them, I will, before I through them out :-) . The person I spoke with, said they are actually very tasty and sweet. One other thing he said, was they chew on the fibrous flesh for about 20 minutes per palm nut. So it sounds like besides being good for them nutrition wise, it's also a great time consuming toy :-) Trina - Rub it in, Rub it in ;-) Let us know how yours likes the Palm Nuts!! Number 6 - I am not certain where you like, but they might become a little vinegary in a hot transport situation after they have been in transit for 5 days getting to me. We would need to think about how to perhaps Package, Freeze and ship them to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 He has probably forgotten about them like he did the cactus flower jam he promised to look for and I haven't heard a thing, have you Tracy? Just kidding Dan, I know you are busy and you can take a joke can't you, if you can't then what good are you!!! {Feel-good-0002006E} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makena Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hey Check this out!!!! http://store.bird-elicious.com/nobutpanu16.html Looks like this company takes pre-orders (IN THE US) and ships as orders are received. And you only have to buy 1 lb. (although it is $15.25/lb). They only ship for a few months out of the year. Maybe this would work for some of you mainlanders!

LisaM Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I just ordered some palm nuts and a couple of the different foods from the link in Makena's message. Has anyone ever dealt with them before? Their main product is a variety of species-specific "Bird-elicious" mixes. They sound pretty good but wanted to see if anyone else has experience with them? (And after reading this thread just had to give the palm nuts a try!) Thanks, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Tracy, Soldier does look like he is enjoying that palm nut, good for him and thanks for sharing the pic with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Nice Photo Tracy, I'm am so jealous that you can readily obtain the natural food they love and eat in the wild. Soldier probably thinks the "Cooking" is much better at your house now, than previous owners. :-) Wish I could find people in my close vicinity that would go in on a 50lb order. That's the smallest shipment the grower in Florida will pick and ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
