Maybe... you just have to try... hope you like to eat partially beaked fruit, off the floor. Jet usually destroys and then throws fruit, but at least she has fun.

Mine always prefer veggies. Fruit can be problematic because of the sugar content. So I just stick to veggies mostly. I bought a fruit mix to see if they would like it but for the most part it goes uneaten. It did have mangos in it though.

Do you think it could hurt them?
how about:
necterines
peaches
cherries
plums
bananas
apples
oranges
lemons
limes
kiwis
apricots
blueberries
strawberries
razzberries
blackberries
watermelons
pinapples?
And other fruits?
What veggies do they like most?

personally I wouldn't give mine lemons or limes, too acidic I reckon
Kiwi fruit I recall reading something about ..............hmmmmmmmmmm
Just to be safe, I would hold off giving your birds that until someone gives you a clear answer
I believe all of the stone fruit should be fine, just DO NOT give them the stones/pips!

DO NOT GIVE THEM AVOCADO
but you probably already knew that

My female tiel is quite curious and if I have something in my hands and am standing near the aviary, she will fly down and "beg"
That way she has had banana and apple, which she previously wouldn't try so good thing she is a bit of a piggy hahaha, that way I can introduce her to new things
The boy tiel is more scared of new things though, so is my budgie who has so far only tried broccoli and bread (loves bread!!!)
My Turquoisines are more willing to try new things and love corn kernels when I put them on a plate on the bottom of the aviary.
I have noticed my birds liking veggies way more than fruit though
You could try shaving a piece of carrot with a vegetable peeler and hanging that in their cage
Broccoli is by far the favourite in our household (well, with the birds ,not my kids unfortunately )

Mine go for spinach in a big way but also like broccolli, Mustard greens, snap peas, beans (all kinds) I buy a 9 bean mixture. The list continues. Bean sprouts and corn go well too! Chickweed and dandylion greens out of the yard are well liked so don't weed too well. They are fine providing you havent sprayed insecticide or weed killer.

Jet has eaten all of the things you listed. Jewel LOVES fruit and Jet LOVES to steal anything Jewel has. Jet will put down a piece of bannana though. But mostly she eats fruit because Jewel is eating it. The only thing you can do is try!

As far as fruit, mine love bananas

Claudia, broccoli is one of Casper's favorites too. She will eat it, then end up with most of it on her face. Here she is eating a veggie mix that I gave her.

She still doesn't eat fruit though. She loves the stems from cherries! She plays with those and drops them down on the floor for the dogs to pick up!!!

Lisa your bird is just soooooooooo pretty!

Thank you!!! My little baby is a pain sometimes, but I love her to bits.

my cockatiels enjoy mostly dehydrated fruits, they aren't too fond of fresh fruits. They do, however, love most veggies, like broccoli, kale, carrots (shredded or matchstix), zucchini...

With fruits, make sure the pits are removed as they are toxic to the birds.
peaches - yes, fresh and dried
cherries - no... the pit is really toxic so I just stay away
bananas - yes - they LOVE dehydrated, like little fiends!
apples - yes, prefer dried.. remove seeds.
oranges - yes, including peel
lemons - given to larger birds, havent tried with tiels
apricots - dried
blueberries - dried
strawberries - yes, prefer dried
pineapples - oh god yes... but again, prefer dried.

Jet LOVES melons. She'll eat/distroy watermelon with me until she can't eat anymore. She doesn't like any fruits that are green though (and won't eat green pellets!). But she'll eat green vegtables and herbs... I can't explain that one.

Ok, so do you just give them the whole fruit or cut a small piece off? And are fresh snap peas ok?
