my IRN hodgie loves his treats. previous owner gave store bought treats commercailly made
i like to feed more natural foods fruit veg etc, he screams when he runs out of his treats.
was wondering if someone could tell me what type of nuts can ringnecks eat. im sure he would love them.and also is dried fruit ok for them too???

Any nut I think? but watch out for some fruit seeds, they are not good. Dried fruit is good, but watch out for preservatives and all those chemicals used in store bought dried fruit. Better to make your own.

My birds love their fruit and nut mix, all natural unsalted of course, apple seeds are a big no no. But my babies absolutely adore dried out, melon seeds, from honey dew or rockmelon, scoop them out into a seive, wash and take away the pulp, dry them out and they make wonderful treats, my birds will do anything to get to the jar with the red lid, it contains the dried melon seeds Great for training

awsome thanks guys. my babies love their dried fruit too, thats good aboutt he nuts im sure hodgie will love them. i need a good healthy tasty treat to bribe (i mean tempt him)..lol

Don’t forget to try raw almonds! Archimedes goes nuts for those, get it? Ha ha ha! Just kidding!

Back to your question though--you can use any kinds of nuts or dried fruits. The best choice would be all natural and preservative free; however a few will not hurt if you plan to give them as treats. If you plan to incorporate them into the diet daily—go ahead and buy all natural dried fruits. Nuts that are raw can easily be located at a supermarket and as a previous member posted – stay away from excessive salt.

Hope this helps,

Mine like walnuts & unsalted peanuts

Yes, the walnuts are super healthy! I know all my birds enjoy walnuts. I'll kind of crack them for them and let them work at it to open the shell. It's so much fun watching them tear apart the walnut.
