Laurie Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Well, I've never heard of a fruit that they can't have. Does that narrow it down? LOL I think the important things are to make sure the fruit has been cleaned, don't let them eat banana peel, and no apple seeds. Some fruits are definitely more nutritious than others, so try to go with the "super" fruits when possible. (For example cantaloupe or orange over apple.) And grapes should be a treat - I give Klaus one grape per day when I have them in the house. Anyone else? Did I do ok here? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapala Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Yes I agree Laurie! Always go for the more nutritious fruits (and of course vegetables). In fruits that would be berries, papaya, mango, cantaloupe, apricot. It's best actually that parrots be fed more vegetables than fruits. Apple and grapes are not as good. Too much sugar (even natural sugar found in fruit) is not the best. Fine as part of the diet of course. So, don't forget raw leafy greens (kale, mustard, collard, bok choy, dandelion), broccoli, and lightly cooked sweet potato, carrot, or winter squash.

judygram Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Very good girls, I agree wholeheartedly, veggies over fruit is always good and you are right to limit the grapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
