The wood is considered to be toxic but the nut itself is edible, although it should be considered a treat as opposed to factoring into overall diet and nutritional needs being met. Grocery store chestnuts are generally imported from Europe as American Chestnut trees died off early in the 20th century, Chestnuts are mostly made up of starch when compared to other seeds and nuts, which are high in calorie, protein, and fat which from a parrot perspective is preferable. They can be fed raw but I cook mine in the microwave and then peel them first as a lot of chestnuts can be mouldy inside. If you're going to cook them in the microwave be sure to cut an X in the skin first or they'll explode in a most impressive manner.
yes they can their strong beaks crack the shell open
If they're not salted or cooked or anything. Also no preservatives (man, having a pecan tree would be nice ...), and it should be used as a occasional treat. They can get fat.
yes they can. In the wild our cockatoos crack open the shells to eat them.
No, but 1 thing they do like to eat are human toenail (its a parrot thing) hehe
Yes, cockatoos can eat chestnuts, even though chestnuts are not found in the cockatoos' native country.
No!parrots can die.

yes!!!!! there are parrots in the Amazon rain forest
Parrots are not aquatic birds, and so are neither 'in' not 'on' the river Amazon. There are approximately 30 species of parrot which live in the Amazon region, and are known as Amazon parrots.
Parrots. Amazon parrots.
no,chestnuts are still a type of nut
There's parrots in the Amazon?
Yes parrots live in the rainforest.
Dogs love to chew on horse chestnuts. Rodents such as squirrels & chipmunks are the main animals that really eat horse chestnuts.
Conkers (Horse Chestnuts) are inedible, possibly toxic to everyone.
Dogs should not eat any type of chestnuts. Chestnuts are highly toxic to them and can potentially risk your dogs health. Keep any chestnuts away from where a dog can get to them.
anything that can get its mouth, hands, or paws on it. some examples include cats, and snakes. there are parrots in Florida, South America, im not sure if they are invasive to florida.
