Re: Anyone have hints/ Also

I meant to add, about the pine nuts. I have no idea if this may be
consistent with other birds or if it's only my Sennie. He loves
his daily pine nuts but I have learned I have to restrict him to no
more than 3 per day. In his case at least, it seems to work on him
like way too much caffiene for us. He gets hyper, loud and
flighty. With only three, he is fine. Of course he is much
smaller so even if a Macaw were to have the same reaction, I'm sure
she could have more than that. Maybe if anyone else has seen this
reaction to pine nuts, they can share their experience and how many
they allow per day. If it were me, and if she likes them, I'd
start with maybe only about 5, watch her reactions and gradually
increase her amount so long as you don't see her getting "jittery".
