About: Raw Unsalted Almonds (Shelled)
Treat your parrot to crunchy, wholesome raw unsalted almond pieces that offer a tasty reward and valuable nutritional perks when used responsibly as part of a balanced avian diet. Almonds are a favorite among many parrots thanks to their healthy fats, protein, fiber, and micronutrients—but like all high-fat nuts, they’re best offered in moderation and alongside a complete pellet and fresh-food diet.
Why parrots enjoy and benefit from almonds:
- Energy & healthy fats: Almonds are rich in monounsaturated fats that help support sustained energy and metabolic functions.
- Protein & fiber: These nutrients support muscle maintenance, digestion, and overall vitality.
- Antioxidants & minerals: Almonds contain vitamin E and minerals like magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus - which contribute to immune health, feather quality, and bone strength.
- Mental enrichment: Giving almonds in pieces encourages parrots to forage, manipulate, and chew, providing beak and brain engagement.
💡 Parrot-care note: Almonds are high in calories and fat, so they should not be a daily staple. Excessive intake can contribute to weight gain and imbalance in the overall diet. Always use almonds as occasional treats or reward pieces.

Feeding Instructions
Use almond pieces as a treat or training reward, not as a main food source.
How to serve:
- Chop or break into small pieces: Whole almonds can be too large or hard for some parrots to handle safely. Smaller pieces reduce choking hazards and make it easier for your bird to eat.
- Mix with other foods: Combine almond pieces with pellets, veggies, or other safe nuts to create a varied treat mix.
Suggested portions (adjust based on size and diet):
- Small parrots (e.g., budgies, lovebirds, parrotlets): 1–2 small pieces once or twice per week.
- Medium parrots (e.g., cockatiels, conures): 2–4 small pieces a few times per week.
- Large parrots (e.g., African greys, amazons, macaws): 3–6 pieces a few times per week as part of enrichment or reward feeding.
Best practices:
- Balance with a complete diet: Use almonds as occasional additions to high-quality pellets and fresh foods that provide essential vitamins and minerals.
- Supervise new foods: Watch for any signs of allergies or digestive issues when first introducing almonds.
- Fresh water daily: Always pair treats with access to clean water.
