lemurs2 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hello all, I've been reading this forum about palm nuts. I live in San Diego, California and give my parrots palm oil. There are tons of palms loaded with nuts all over the place plus we have some feral parrots around but I don't know if they eat the nuts or not. I've been researching if it is safe to give the palm nuts to my birds and the 2 avian vets I have talked to said yes regarding the queen palm but I they didn't address the other types of palms. Does anyone know about other types of palm nuts? I would like to harvest them from sources where I know they don't spray and package them to sell. They are available all year round but I don't know when the best time is to pick them. Does anyone know? Thanks- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have heard the queen palms mentioned before but unfortunately im unable to offer any advice,here in the UK we have to purchase frozen palm nuts.Just be careful if ferel parrots are eating from the source you intend to pick them from as they may well be carring disease which could be transmitted to your bird.

lemurs2 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yes, I will stay away from where the feral parrots feed not only in case of disease but because I don't want to take away their food source. I did get a call back from the palm nut seller, Richard Sawyer, in Florida and he said it's best to get the nuts from queen palms and canary island fig palms. He said don't pick them if they are green and make sure they haven't been treated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MommaFawkes Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hey Judy did you ever have any luck? A few friends and I are ordering 50 pounds and splitting the cost. Hopefully in the next few days we will have enough people lined up to do it! yay! LMG, have you tried them with Millie yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mareeee Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 hmmm... I give Charlie more than you guys are recommending. My main problem is that the smallest quantity I can buy is a kilo at a time (for about 20 cents!). I have no refrigeration, and if you leave them out, they go moldy in no time in this climate. My solution was making friends with the ladies in the market who sell them so they give me just a handful once a week or so. But when I get them, I have to feed them to him within a few days before they get moldy. But I guess it all averages out since he sometimes goes a week without any... Even better is when the tree in front of our house has some ripe ones. Its amazing: perfect hight for picking with no climbing involved! Problem there is that the locals like to munch on 'em just about as much as Charlie does, so we've got competition for them!

Luvparrots Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hey Mareee being in the Peace Corps is a very noble thing to do, I commend you. Your home looks so cute and the weather looks great (I'm from Washington State and it rains here all the time). I was reading about palm nuts and how parrots in the wild really love them and they are great for protein for birds, since you are in Guinea and food is hard to find I think giving your grey palm nuts is a good and nutritious thing. Since you can't refrigerate, how about sealing them in a clean dry container, perhaps they would keep longer then. Good luck and please keep in touch when you can.

mareeee Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hey thanks luvparrots. I can't get to online often here, but like taking advantage when I'm here in the capital. Yeah, the tree always has all kinds of birds coming to scout out the palm nuts. I figure I need to give Charlie plenty so he doesn't get too jealous of the other birds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
