Unsweetened Flake Coconut

USDA Organic

Suitable for all bird species, including finches, small parrots, medium parrots, large parrots, and lorikeets.
It can also be offered to small animals, but please use your discretion as the owner.

In bird nutrition, “whole foods” are ingredients that wild birds could obtain in nature—fresh vegetables and fruits, seeds, nuts, herbs, coconut, edible flowers, insects, and items that are soaked or sprouted. In short, foods you can recognize at a glance. With the exception of processed products such as pellets, supplements, and bird cookies, most of these are considered whole foods. (Seeds count as whole foods, too.)

Tips
Small birds such as finches and budgies (budgerigars) may find the original pieces too large. If so, crush them by hand, place them in a bag and press, or grind them into smaller pieces to make them easier to eat.

Offer it in moderation as part of a varied diet. It can be given daily in appropriate amounts.

Store at room temperature, away from heat and humidity. Once opened, use promptly; reseal the zipper closure tightly or transfer to an airtight container. For reference, our team keeps them in airtight jars from IKEA.

Pure organic unsweetened coconut flake, nothing added.

A rich source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs).
MCTs are metabolized more rapidly in the liver than long-chain fatty acids, are less likely to be stored as body fat, and can help sustain a feeling of fullness, making them a valuable source of energy during weight management.
They’re also high in dietary fiber, which supports healthy digestion and helps improve gut health.
In addition, they provide a good amount of minerals—especially magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc.

Once opened, please use it as soon as possible, regardless of the best-before date.

The information on this page regarding nutrients, benefits, and other characteristics (including commonly stated effects) is provided as general, publicly known information about each ingredient. It does not guarantee any specific effects or results of this product.

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sets maximum “defect action levels” for incidental insect matter, and those limits vary by food type and manufacturing process. Because this product uses pesticide-free ingredients and contains no additives, incidental insects may occasionally be present. Insects associated with produce or herbs (i.e., whole foods) are a natural source of animal protein and are generally not harmful to birds; however, please remove them if you prefer. Returns or exchanges cannot be accepted for issues related to incidental insects.
