Coco received a super treat today... a delivery of fan palm nuts and pandanus fruit from The Cozy Nestbox in Miami, Florida. I was so anxious to see her reaction to these tropical delights!
First things first.... wash and rinse as I would any other produce:
===========================================
What exactly is that new thing you want me to try???
Well, maybe just a little taste.....
Hey, not bad... not bad at all! Thanks!!!
I'll take a little more of that, please!
Quite unique! I love the orange fleshy part!
===========================================
This is Coco enjoying the pandanus fruit, a true tropical treat! It is a fibrous fruit, and the birds take great efforts to peel and remove the outer husk to reach the prized inner nut:
Pandanus fruit, and palm nuts of all varieties, provide loads of enrichment. The pandanus fruit, in particular, may take a day or two of work before a bird reaches the inner nutty reward.

wow I just love coco and how pretty she is . Im glad she enjoyed the fruits of her labor , pardon the pun .
She says 'thank you', and I think she for sure is enjoying her labor! A busy beak is a happy (and quiet) beak! :D
Coco is not one to turn down a treat is she. :D
I love in the video how she stretches up as if to say "oh boy that's good!"
And this is the first time I saw pandanus too.
Oh wow! Did she ever love that nut! Her face lit up like a Christmas tree when she bit into it. She took to it like a fish to water. That is quite the haul you got Robin. Is it Coco's birthday? Looks like she is ready to host a big party with all that good food :)
Malachite just tried palm nuts for the first time ever and he loves them!
