Not every reward needs to be remarkable or complicated. Sometimes a simple, crunchy almond is exactly what a parrot is happy to come back for.
These blanched sweet almonds have a mild flavor, are firm and satisfying to nibble on, and are easy to offer in small pieces. No shell, no skin, no fuss... offer them directly during a training session, hide a piece during foraging, or save them for a quiet moment of enjoyment from your hand.
For parrots who recognize a good reward
An almond isn’t something to give thoughtlessly in large quantities. It remains interesting when you offer it mindfully. A small piece during clicker or target training, an unexpected find among other natural foods, or simply something special for a bird that loves to nibble.
Perhaps the almond is examined thoroughly first. Turned around in the foot, a corner carefully tested... and then the quality control can suddenly be over remarkably quickly.
What’s actually in an almond?
Almonds are naturally rich in energy and fats. Most of that fat consists of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Almonds also naturally contain protein, fiber, vitamin E, and various minerals, including magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus.
That doesn’t automatically make an almond something to give without limit. With around 56 grams of fat per 100 grams, it remains an energy-rich food... which is precisely why it works well as a mindful addition to a varied parrot diet.
Pure offering... consciously given
Our sweet almonds are raw, unsalted, and unroasted. Just 100% almonds, with no salt, seasoning, or roasted flavor. With the skin and hard shell already removed, you can see exactly what you're giving and easily decide the portion yourself.
A whole almond for a larger parrot, a smaller piece for training or a smaller bird... and if you like almonds too, there's of course nothing wrong with sharing one. Though the one with the beak may have a very different idea of how to divide it.
