Hi guys!
I was just curious about Hazelnuts, but a few at the Bulk Barn today and was wondering if they one of the "good" nuts or if they are bad in any way. They looked like one of the lower fat nuts, but I can't find it on the list of foods provided by this website, and other sites don't seem to mention them that much either.

Thanks!

I hve hazelnuts in the mix of in the shell nuts that I get for my macaws.I give Dodger one once in awhile..but e only gt a nut every other day.I give either a hazelnut or an almond.

Thanks Angie!

Here's a ling to a blurb about hazelnuts. Look down the page.

Thanks Min!

I would bet that that article is referring me to the larger birds who need the added fat.I know the author of that article is a breeder of several different macaws species and is on a macaw forum I visit alot.She is very knowledgeable.But in feeding them to QP's I would not do more then 1-2 a week just because of the fact our littleons areprone to fatty liver They could be a sepecial treat

I've given Arthur hazelnuts before. He doesn't seem to like them much, prefers pecans and cashews. An occasional hazelnut as a treat (if your fid likes them) is fine as far as I know.
