Tagtastic Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 I bought a bad of Deluxe Seed mix that is for Large birds like Eclectus/AG etc. It has seeds and nuts in it. When I opened it I noticed it had peanuts in the shell in it. I thought I would just pitch the peanuts but then got to thinking what it the peanut shells have tainted the other seeds in the bag? Any advice here? I have no qualms just throwing everything out if I need to.:confused:
Dave007 Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) Always remove all peanuts from all bags of parrot mix. They're raw, can contain mold spores that can lead to aspergilosus. Take tyem and give them to the squirrels and other out door birds in your yard. The peanuts in the bag don't taint or contaminate the other items in the parrot mix If you wanna give peanuts, go to a supermarket that sell *fresh roasted human grade* peanuts. They usually come in a clear bag. Make sure is says human grade Edited July 10, 2011 by Dave007
Tagtastic Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Thanks! Are you talking about roasted in shell or out of shell? I think have the fun for them is ripping it open!
Dave007 Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 In the shell. Birds like to crack them and they're easier for the bird to hold on to while eating. They roast them in the shell but you can get them without the shell. Up to you.
