bird-e-licious just got fresh organic palm nuts in stock, $16.75 a pound! thought some of you might be interested since they are so hard to find.

Palm Nuts! Nothin But! 16oz~They're Back!

who here has fed these before and how to do your birds take to them? i was thinking about getting some for ivy, but i don't know if it's worth it or not.

Mac nuts are what we feed our Hys. I have researched the Palm nuts, but I am not convinced that they are worth the cost. I am continually researching this, however, so the Hy parronts chime in!

I wonder if Seymour would enjoy them. Not sure he would be strong enough to crack them though. You think Palm nuts are bad for a GreenWing?

i wouldn't think so, as long as you used them sparingly. i wonder what they taste like!

Lance, the Palm Nuts from Birdelicious are the fresh fruits. They are shipped with ice-packs and are only available during the colder months and usually only by pre-order. I bought several pounds last year.

There is a lot of soft gooey, stringy, oily delicious fruit surrounding the nut. If the birds don't or can't crack the inside nut part, I don't think they're missing out on any nutrition as I have read that it's the fruit that is loaded with the nutrition.

My guys didn't like anything about them, but others that have ordered have said that their birds relished every morsel.

oh HUH! that is very interesting! thanks for sharing that, karen. i really didn't think they looked like nuts at all, so this makes sense!

What do you think of them for little birds? (Linnies or P'Lets)?
Are they really large?

Denise I found the average size to be no bigger than the size of a chestnut or radish. I would think any size bird could pick the fruit off them. I view them as a nutritional seasonal treat just like pomegranates.
