What are the most important protein-rich sources to feed parrots? Specifically, sun conure.

I've also heard some opinions about feeding dried shrimp. Is it beneficial for them?

I would not recommend shrimp for parrots. Almonds tend to be a lower fat, high protein food. However, you still have to be careful about giving to much protein, and fat, to parrots in captivity as they do not tend to get enough aerobic exercise (flying).
