Just wondering if I should keep giving ruby these seeds. She seems to enjoy them but if only given her 2. I read somewhere that they were safe but I was hoping for some first hand advice.

I actually don't know anything about those seeds, but I thought I'd give this thread a bump in case there is someone out there who does.

Okay, just did a little search on what I consider to be the eclectus diet bible: http://eclectusparrots.net/fruitandveg.html

Apparently golden cane palms are considered a safe vegetable for ekkies. No reference, however, is made specifically to their seeds. I'll keep looking around.
