749.0. "Black Walnuts, Butternuts, Hickory Nuts???" by BTOVT::SMITH_M_A () Sat Nov 07 1992 02:43

    
    Does anyone know if black walnuts, butternuts, and hickory nuts are
    safe to give to my B&G macaw?  These nuts drop off the trees this time
    of the year up here in VT.  I've read some articles in various
    publications that list plants, etc. that are safe/toxic, but I don't
    recall seeing any of these nuts included in the lists I've seen.  
    
    Just wondering...

    Mike, 
    
    You've stumbled on one of my "hot" topics. I have convinced my
    publisher and am currently working on a publication about
    parrot-edible fruits and nuts for the Dutch market.
                         
    Unfortunately I am not familiar with noth-american trees. Your best
    sorce would be an university of agricultice or horticulture. Just call
    them.
    Success!
