perfectpeter Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 i prefare to give my birds the nuts, not the oil, as the oil is concentrated i just dont know how much to give to them?? whereas the nut they eat with pleasure, they turn their nose up at the oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Brooke with the palm oil it is in general no more than a teaspoon a day, you can slightly warm it & i find they enjoy it drizzled over their veg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chapala Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 If you're going to give palm oil, be sure it is Red palm oil for more nutrition, not regular palm oil. 1/4 to 1/2 tsp a day is what is recommended for the average Grey (to 500 grams). While good fats are needed in the diet (red palm oil, flax seed), too much is not good for them.
