We have these for our birds:

We give them infrequently as treats. Our tiels mostly just love pulling the corn off the cob, lol, but they do eat a small amount of it. Does anyone know what the nutrition value of them is? Is it the same as non-dried sweetcorn?

Drying can destroy some of the more perishable vitamins, but most of the nutritional content will still be there.

Typical dried corn is too hard for my tiels to eat, but Just Tomatoes brand corn is very soft: http://www.justtomatoes.com/JC-P.html They love it! And they love the peas even more. This stuff turns into powder at the touch of a beak, but apparently it's extremely tasty powder because they scarf down every crumb they can get.

That looks great thanks. I see they do international orders from Norway, so hopefully I can get some sent over here - or get my dad to look for it next time he goes to Norway, lol. :D
