lovemyGreys Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Great picture Tari, she sure is enjoying that peanut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I guess because I have kept peanuts away from Josey so far, she doesn't care for them, at least for the moment, I will try them again, and I know only human grade ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 I keep a bag of human grade peanuts around all the time. My husband has very little to do with my birds but he loves to feed them their peanuts so they only get peanuts from him about once a week.

judygram Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 The only thing about keeping peanuts in the shell around, my hubby eats them all in no time, he can't leave a nut alone.:angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdgranna Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I fed human grade peanuts to my amazon and she still got aspergillosis from them, so be careful. It is not worth the risk for me so I have cut them out all together on my vets advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Wow, just when we thought it was safe for our greys to consume peanuts, we get shot down again, now I don't know what to do. Darned if you do and darned if you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hmmmm so what would kill that in the peanuts I have at home? Freezing? Baking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Open them and check before you feed them to your Parrot. Thats what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I guess you could bake them, we had another thread that had a lot about peanuts in it and I think it was Mandi that said baking them in the oven would kill almost all the toxins. Opening them kind of defeats the purpose of offering them in the shell for them to chew up to get to the nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Baking them only kills 70% of the spores at best....but, then your Grey only gets ` 30% if your willing to risk that :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 70% is not a whole lot is it, then I will offer them out of the shell, but I have to keep them away from hubby, he eats all the nuts around the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makena Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 We don't feed Makena peanuts... not because we are scared of them but because we just haven't tried them yet! Dan, you have mentioned before the ingredient statements for the harrisons which list peanuts very close to the top... is this ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hi Makena, Harrison's is considered by many here on this Forum as the best pellet diet out there. So I think your ok. My whole point on posting the ingredients of Harrison pellets, was pointing out that the #1 and #2 ingredients were Sunflower Seeds and Peanuts. I personally feed Dayo a Seed blend by Browns calles "Tropical". This is a personal preference, but the way I look at it, is why grind his seeds up and smash them into pellets for him? I would rather that he work for his food by having to crack open all the variety of seeds to get at the yummy treat inside. I just ensure he also has plenty of veggies and fruits also, of which he eats tons. So he has a well balanced diet that is natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
