What is happening to these flying dragon fruits?

[Florian]

Out of the 60 or so fruits I picked from my little tree about 5 had these injuries. Some were only 'leaking' but one had its seed come out. I have never seen this. Any ideas?

[Laaz]

Probably birds. I have caught birds pecking at my fruits. You can also have fruit split if you get a lot of rain & the tree uptakes water fasted than the fruit can handle.

Thanks, Laaz. It has not rained much, so I guess birds.

They seem a little big, but they look like seeds. 

[Laaz]

They are seeds...

[Millet]

So Laaz are you saying the seeds popped out, or were pulled out due to bird damage??

[Laaz]

Yes, once there is a hole in the fruit, the "guts" start to come out. We get oriole birds here every fall & any fruit still on the tree they go after. Once there is a hole in the fruit the seeds & juice will start to come out. It aggravates the hell out of my wife. We didn't know what was causing it until my wife caught them in the act.
