can my 10 year old nanday Conure have coconut?
Yes, go ahead and feed fresh coconut
It's high in fiber, and has some calcium. More importantly, it has lauric acid, which has shown to have bacterial and anti -viral properties.
It's also contains medium chain triglycerides, which is fat, but it is immediately converted into energy as opposed to fat.
If you want to give your bird dried, or dessicated coconut, that's fine too, just make sure it has no sugar in it.
Kaytee brand offers treats that are coconut and raspberry to sprinkle in their food.
most of my birds love coconut too. I buy mine at the health food store, and they are organic coconut shavings.
