Has anyone tried the molucca nuts? The Indonesian Parrot Project (
http://www.indonesian-parrot-project.org ) is selling molucca nuts to help
preserve the native islands of endangered wild cockatoos. Like many places,
the rainforests are being taken down. The project is using proceeds of the
molucca nuts to help the rainforest become profitable on its own.
I ordered two pounds (at $15 USD a pound.) There supposed to be a real
treat for your birds and better in nutrition that macadamias or brazil nuts.

My M-Too and house Parrotlets love them, my BFA tolorates them and the BCC,
Senegal and Maxi Pi hate um.
I bought 4 pounds last June and used them as treats only, hey at fifteen
bucks a pound they are treats.

Have you tried pine nuts? My blue and gold Macaw absolutely loves
them. Other birds like them too.
I pay about $4.50 a pound and my supplier says they are like candy to
birds. Big Bird cannot get enough of them, ofcourse I limit them to
him. He eats with us every night and wants to eat everything we eat or
he feels slighted.

Gracie gets all kinds of nuts. I bought the molucca nuts primarily for the
support of the Indonesian Parrot group.

Right-All kinds of nuts!!! Maybe that is why my macaw loves Xmas
because you can get all kinds of nuts in the shells. His favorite is a
tie between walnuts and pecans. Ofcourse, pine nuts would beat any of
them!
