I was wondering if it is okay to give Echo dates? I'm would like to try different fruits for him because he is so picky. I checked the complete fruits/veggies thread but did not see them listed. Are they safe or should I advoid giving them to him.

thanks,

mary

Mary dates are ok to feed to your grey, there were some in the last bag of dried fruit mix that I bought for Josey but she does not care for them but maybe Echo will;)

Hello Kaskoo,

 

Dates, as you probably know, grow on palm trees and have been a valued fruit through out history. The dates raw and fresh provide a good source of vitamin C.

 

The Pit is not harmful at all if your Grey eats it. It is also a great nutritional source and is used ground up as a flour in many pet foods and also by some people to make bread.

 

The size of the Pit is small enough that your Grey can crack and enjoy the contents, unlike the larger Palm nuts from various other variety Palm Trees that produce fruit with much larger pits that only macaw size Parrots can open and enjoy the pit contents.

 

My Grey does not like the sweet flesh either and eats a pit or two here and there. :-)
