    Question about eggs

    My question is this... Do the eggs need to be organic eggs, or can I just buy a dozen eggs at any grocery store?

    Question about eggs

    One more question... We live in Colorado in a dry climate. I read somewhere that red palm oil will help his skin and feathers if you mix it with his food. Is this correct? If so, how much do I use and how often? Is red palm oil the right one to use?

    Thanks!

    Question about eggs

    No the eggs you feed your grey do not have to be organic, any eggs from the store will be fine.

    Yes the red palm oil does help the skin and feathers and you can purchase it from www.swansonvitamins.com

    I use about 1/4 teaspoon and you don't have to use it every day, some mix it in some cooked food like oatmeal or drizzle it over other foods.<br><br>Post edited by: judygram, at: 2010/02/11 13:04

    Question about eggs

    I luv Judy, Remember to "wash you eggs" LOL, no really, we use a little vinegar and water, if your going to feed the egg shells to,[calcium] you should dry and back them for 20min's or so... Jay



    A Grey is a wild animal removed from the wild, bred to be companions. They are long removed from being able to take care of themselves but not so long as to forget at times they're still wild...so it's up to us to make sure we protect them. We're the reason they demand all this attention. We removed them from the wild. Jay

    Question about eggs

    Jay and Judy are spot on.

    My Grey loves his scrambled eggs and doesn't noticed I snuck in a 1/4 teaspoon of Red Palm Oil as well. :-)

    Another fact some may not know..... The yolk is also a good source of vitamin D for calcium absorption.
    Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin. ~K.O. Eckland, "Footprints On Clouds"

    Dayo in flight....
