Dehydrated Oil Palm Nut for Parrots: What It Is and How to Feed It
Dehydrated oil palm nut is a popular treat among parrot owners. In this guide we explain what it is, which birds it is made for and how to offer it. CONGO sells dehydrated oil palm nut in 300 gm packs of three and a 1 kg pack.
What is dehydrated oil palm nut?
Oil palm nuts come from the oil palm tree. When dehydrated, the nuts are dried so they can be stored and offered as a treat. They are rich in natural fats, so they should be given in small amounts only.
Which birds is it made for?
CONGO oil palm nut is made for parakeets, cockatiels, conures, amazons, senegals, African greys, macaws, cockatoos, eclectus and other parrots. See the product pages for 1 kg and the bird food collection.
How to offer oil palm nut
- Offer a small piece as a treat, not as a main meal.
- Ask your avian vet how much and how often is right for your bird.
- Place it in a clean feeder or hold it as a training reward.
- Remove leftovers and replace with fresh food.
Storage
Keep the pack tightly closed and store it in a cool, dry place. Do not use nuts that smell off or show signs of mould.
