palm fruit extract

As I understand it, most palm fruit is not good for birds. I would call the manufacturer and have a nice chat with them BEFORE giving this to your birds. Just because you buy it in a pet shop does not mean it is good for your bird as I've found supposed healthy bird food containing chemicals used in the making of rubber tires and face creams.

Tracie carries some organic cold-pressed Red Palm Oil here that is very good and safe for birds. It is used in the Birdy Bread mix Harrisons' makes which is also found here. Your birds need to be eating a high quality organic pelleted diet like Harrison's
or another of the ones Tracie has here. It is not one item that makes a diet healthy, it is the overall diet which should consist of organic pellets, only 10-15% organic fruit and veggies which means small smounts a few times a week. It also means no people food, pasta, nuts(this includes peanuts which have horrible effects on bird and people's bodies), pizza or any other salty, sugary, fatty foods made for people.

Here is a link to an article about changing birds from seed to pellets written by an Avian Vet:

Switching Birds to Pellets article

Thanks much for writing and be sure and call manufacturer about the Palm extract. When feeding Harrisons', you do not need to supplement with anything other than the Palm Oil that goes into the Birdy Bread mix as pellets are 100%, cold extracted, nutrition and Avian Vet endorsed.
