greenwinged Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Does anyone know if you can feed a bird a chestnut. I have 6 bird 2 macaws, cookatoo, amazon, a grey and jardine. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yes, chestnuts are a wonderful Nut to them. The Grey, Jardine and Cockatoo may need a little help to get them open, but as I'm sure you know, the Macaw will have no problem cracking those Chestnuts at all. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 My grey needs help opening all nuts (almonds, walnuts etc) it this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yes, Walnuts are impossible for a Grey to Open. Almonds are a hit and miss due to some having thicker and harder shells than others. Initially, I would just shave off a little of the shell near the pointed tip of the Almond to give Dayo a chance to work them over and finally get them open. After several times of doing that, I believe his confidence and also love for that wonderful treat inside gave Dayo the desire to open all Almonds now with out any prepping from me, except in the rarest of occasions that he runs across a super tough shelled Almond. Maybe give that a try for a while with your Grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
