What Kind of Nuts Do Your Birds Like?

[Hankmacaw]

He won't eat pistachios (he used to) or pine nuts. He just turns his head away if I try to offer him anything but an almond.

At least those are good for him!!

Yes, I know but they get boring. It used to be that if he had an almond in the morning he didn't want another at night and there was no other nut/treat I could give him.

 

[Clueless]

Mine like the pine nuts in parrots treasure toys, almonds in the shell, and pistachios.

I heard Secret loved peanuts in shell but because of the fear, she's never gotten them at our house.

None of mine would eat Brazil nuts and I don't think macadamia either. I don't buy walnuts because I don't like them and the bf is allergic but maybe should try them. I don't think I've tried hazelnuts with them.

try grating them finely on soft foods the only way mine will touch them.

 

[Begone]

Mine eat all nuts, but they prefer walnuts and almonds. The reason for that can be that I often only give them these nuts, for Omega and Calcium.

He'll eat peanuts too but i try not to get him mixes with them because I'm scared of aspergillis.

Please don't give him that. Asper is a terrible disease. You don't want to lose Leto.
I'm proud to say that Akela don't know how peanuts taste, and Eliy that was given them (in her first home) have been tested negative for Asper, thank god!
I will never give mine peanuts, they are not nuts and so healthy and they can be dangerous for them.
I didn't mean to lecture you, I only care for you and Leto.

My GCCs like peanuts (though due to their potential danger, the only peanuts they get are the ones in nutriberries), and Fizz loves pine nuts, but Roca won't touch them. I haven't noticed them liking any other nut.

 

[EllaMay]

I have given Ella only Almonds and Cashews thus far, she loves both.

 

[Peppo]

Paco only likes pine nuts, he will not go near any other nut. I grind some almonds in his chop for calcium sometimes, if he finds a bigger piece he will throw it out.

I've only accidentally bought the mix with peanuts once. I know they are very dangerous. The rescue who had him before me used to feed him peanuts. They told me he loved them

Kobe's favourites are almonds, walnuts and pistachios in that order.
Ollie loves cashews best but will eat walnuts and maybe the odd pistachio.
Bobbie likes cashews and walnuts.
Chico loves pistachios and to a lesser extent, cashews and walnuts, but has recently discovered pine nuts!
Peanuts are banned - I already have a bird with Aspergillosis.

My Chirp loves loves loves almonds. But he'll only eat them if they're chopped into teeny pieces. I made a treat mix once with walnuts, almonds, and millet that I would occasionally sprinkle over his food or put in a little bowl of it's own, and he'd go absolutely bonkers on it. Almonds are a rare treat now, but sometimes I'll grind up an almond and sprinkle a little bit over his mash

ME. That is my birds preferred nut followed by pistachios, my husband, almonds, pecans, walnuts.

The same with Eliys first owner. And they did not believe me when I told them how dangerous it was feeding them.

And your HB on third place!
