Palm Nuts and Parrots

It is becoming more and more obvious to the avian community that birds need more omega fatty acids for healthy skin and beautiful feathers!
One such food to find omegas are in Palm Nuts!
Palm nuts are rich in palm oil that is packed with omega fatty acids as well as loads of
beta carotene!
The fruit of the nut, the outer skin and meat, is what contains the most amount of these
nutrients. But inside the very hard nut is another little morsel that Macaw parrots love to
eat as well!
It is said that the Macaws gather these in the wild, find about a 2" stick and prop it up
inside their mandible in such a way as to secure the nut. They then use the stick as leverage
while they crack the nut open with their beak!
Isn't Nature amazing!
