Editorial Review:

Palm oil is a liquid at room temperature, and has a rich bright red color
Profile Similar To Olive Oil
Non-Hydrogenated Oil

Natural Red Palm Oil is produced from the fruit of the oil palm, Elaeis guineensis. It is a vegetable oil and therefore does not contain any cholesterol, which is only found in animal or dairy products. Natural Red Palm Oil, made from the fruit, is sometimes confused with Palm Kernel Oil, which is made from the kernel. These are quite different in composition. Palm Kernel Oil has a fatty acid profile similar to coconut oil. Palm Kernel Oil does not contain the same amounts of carotenoids, tocopherols and tocotrienols found in Natural Red Palm Oil. Natural Red Palm Oil contains about 50% naturally saturated fats and 50% unsaturated fats. The fats in Natural Red Palm Oil are not synthetically hydrogenated or altered in any way. The unsaturated fats in Natural Red Palm are predominantly oleic acid, which is the main type of fat in olive oil.

My Male Ekkie Still Needs Better!

I bought this product after extensive research regarding it being good for feather plucking! My male ekkie still needs help. It has not worked for him. I understand there are many varieties of the Red Palm Oil. I guess I will try something else! If anyone has any suggestions, please send them to "[...]". Glad to hear it worked for others!

Great Red Palm Oil for my Cockatoo..and myself

I own a Molucuun Cockatoo and she was picking at her feathers. I found out through a parrot forum that Red Palm Oil was good for this. They referred me to this seller. It's been two weeks and I already see the difference. Her plumage is getting rich and full and I couldn't be happier with this Red Palm Oil. I also put some in my oatmeal as it is high in antioxidants. Shipping was fast and communication was perfect. I highly recommend this seller and product.

Natural suplement for African Greys

Some African Grey owners claim that adding Red Palm Oil to their bird's diet aids in their bird's health and stops them from plucking their feathers. I bought this product for all of those reasons. My bird raves over dinner now and I noticed that her feathers are "shinier" and her red tail is brighter than it used to be. Unfortunately is has not helped her with her plucking problem. But since the red palm is a daily food in the African Grey's natural habitat I will continue to add it to her dinners.

Works quite well...

This isn't a joke, but it is useful advice.

I bought this oil because I have a parrot with a feather plucking problem. I've been adding about half a teaspoonful daily to her soft food for about 3 months and the results are terrific. She's almost back to full feather and has not plucked a single pinfeather since we began adding it.

This is a logical solution. Palm nuts are a part of most parrot's natural diet. It only makes sense that red palm oil contains nutrients that are otherwise missing in a caged bird's diet.

Your mileage may vary since feather plucking is a complex mystery, but in my case it's been a miracle cure for our cantankerous eclectus.
