Click here to buy from our shopping cart site Palm nuts are the natural food of African Grey parrots. It is actually the yellow flesh around the nut that is important although larger parrots such as macaws can crack the nut as well. Palm nuts are good for all parrots particularly breeding birds. As some birds tend to be fussy eaters it is best to start with just a kilo to try them out. On arrival put the palm nuts into a deep freeze. They should be thawed over night and washed before use. Feed a pair of African Greys 4 nuts per day.   Palm Nuts Frozen Palm Nuts now in stock. 250g £3.95 1kg £8.95 5kg £35.00 25kg £150 + p&p African Greys can be very fussy feeders indeed and you do have to be careful when introducing a new diet. To begin with you can try several different ways, if you're bird is extremely tame then try just giving them a palm nut from your fingers. Many pet parrots will be happy to try anything and this may work. If you place the palm nut in their food dish, keep an eye on your parrots and see what he does with this new food. Often once they pick it up in their beak and bite into it they will then begin to eat it. Palm nuts being a natural food of African grey parrots means it is extremely good for them and worth persevering if they do not eat this food to start with. You can also try not feeding the parrot first thing in the morning with any food and just placing a palm nut in their food dish, once hungry they are much more likely to try something new. Palm nuts cannot be kept unfrozen in your parrots cage for more than two days. After two days it is best to throw away and try again with a new palm nut. If you need any advice over the telephone or e-mail please do not hesitate to contact us and we will try and advise. Parrots being such intelligent birds all vary in character so sometimes we have to introduce diets in different ways. I know when I have 50 pairs of African grey parrots many years ago, after only seven days 49 out of 50 pairs of parrots were eating palm nuts. You should try and leave a very good parrot food mixture with a large number of ingredients plus vitamins and minerals together with any fruit and veg they will eat. A diet like this plus palm nuts will keep your bird very happy and healthy. One thing always to remember is not to overfeed your parrot as this can lead to various health problems. Any concerns please contact us.     All prices include Vat
