Feeding Guide

Nuts and seeds contain many high-value nutrients essential for parrots, but they’re also full of fat and should be supplied in small quantities. Please reference a species-specific book or something similar to determine the most suitable quantity for your bird. As a general rule though, small birds don’t need more than a lightly heaped teaspoon per day. The larger parrots only need a small handful (approx. 5-6 large nuts in shell) per day, and species such as the large macaws need a regular sized handful (about 7-9 large nuts in shell). Aviary breeding birds can receive more, with some species like macaws responding very favourably to comparatively high quantities.

Storage Guide

Nuts should be kept cool and dry to prevent them going rancid or getting weevil infestations. It is best to store them below 21°C in an airtight bag or container. Refrigerate or freeze in well-sealed moisture-proof containers or bags to significantly extend shelf life. The lower the temperature, the longer the shelf life will be. In a pantry cupboard, hulled nuts will last for a few weeks, or nuts in shell will last up to three months. In the fridge they can be kept for 6 months or more in a freezer they can be kept for a year or more.
