Palm nuts.

[casper]

That is a beautiful picture of Koko enjoying his palm nut!

Out of three greys I only have one who will eat them!

Strange, but I am working on it!

 

Thanks for sharing that wonderful picture with us.

After reading through this thread a bit, I went to my local bird store here in Connecticut and purchased some AVI Sunshine Factor. It's only ingredient is certified organic Brazilian dende or red palm nut fruit oil.

 

It comes in solid form, which liquifies when the container is placed in warm water. You then thoughly mix the liquid with whatever dry mix you use, coating the pellets. When dry, feed as usual.

 

I don't think Gracie has noticed any difference in the taste or texture, and my Conure Gelsa's feathers actually look better since I've use it.

 

The label on the bottle had a web site, so you can read up on the product and decide if it's right for you. Try pasting this link into your browser:

It looks like there are a few other products worth looking at as well. Does anyone have any experience with AVI?

Has anyone found a US retailer from whom to buy palm nuts? I've been looking for a long time, googling every so often. Please let me know if there is someplace.

Thanks!
