Joe Bachi Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Hey guys, Do any of you know whether or not pepinos are good for CAGs? I tried to Google it but I only found results concerning the pepino tree wood which is toxic for birds Thank you for your help Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingy Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I didn't find many references to the pepino fruit but there are a few. http://www.parrotresourcecenter.ca/fruits.html http://www.talkparrots.com/showthread.php?t=1412 (there are others but seem to reference back to these 2) I haven't seen any that say not to feed. Its hard to say if its not listed as parrot safe or unsafe because the effects are not known or if its because the fruit isn't common to many people. There are many types of foods that wild parrots eat that aren't listed as parrot safe because they aren't typically available commercially or are in very limited areas (the durian is one such fruit). OTOH I am sure there are many more native wild plants that are toxic and aren't listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Thank you so much! It actually looks quite yummy. Wish we had some here to try in the States, but haven't ever seen or heard of them before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bachi Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Well they are quite good, they taste just like melons except for the sweetness, add some sugar and they are great ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
