Pine nuts

[Tony C]

Anybody ever tried feeding their pigeons raw shelled pine nuts?

[Guest cloudview]

no , but if corn keeps rising ,might think about it

will they eat them/?

[OLDYELLOW]

i have thought about it as usualy they can be quite smaller than peanuts , ones in Turkish delight are very round and small but the ones ive seen for sale more almond shaped , if i could get the small round ones id feed them

They are very expensive here more of a gourmet item

These are slightly larger than sunflower hearts and more plump. You'll find them on the shelf in Tesco's.

The fat content in pine nuts exceed that of peanuts and sunflower seeds, I believe acorns has the highest fat content of them all.

See them often in Asda 'wholefoods'.

 

Wondered about them - one of the foods said to be a natural wormer.
