In-shell nuts for a too?

[Xoetix]

This time of year, getting a bag of in-shell mixed nuts (generally walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, pecans) is wonderfully inexpensive. I wanted to double check before I go for it - would this be a fun/enriching treat for a big too? Would any be considered too hard for her?

The bags are raw nuts, no roasting or anything.

This is a wonderful enrichment idea! None of those nuts are too hard for a large too.

I hope she enjoys them

I didn't know such a small beak could do so much damage.

Ha! I absolutely believe it that boy is a beaver in disguise with the amount of wood he chips!

Pssh he puts most Macs to shame with his chipping skills.

Zane use to love in shell nuts, Echo not so much. I'll have to try again with Echo. Definitely great enrichment but can be a little hit and miss depending on your birds personality and past experiences. Good with it

Well, someone's relative did count him as a macaw, looking at the AA calendar. Maybe they have a point!

My Goffin's can crack almonds, walnuts and pecans. She can crack a walnut faster than I can open one with a nutcracker.
My BE2 can crack almonds but only if she feels like it. She has never attempted to crack any other type of nut. She's lazy.
