Parrot safe rare fruit
« on: March 30, 2023, 08:18:00 AM »
Hello,
I’ve been collecting for a few years now and recently adopted an eclectus parrot and a conure. I I’m finding there’s no info on the web as to whether or not some of these rare fruits are safe to share with them. Here’s what I have and I’m wondering if anyone here has any info on

Peanut butter fruit
Pitomba, Eugenia luschnathiana
Achacha
Jaboticaba
Soursop
Sugar or custard apples
Jamaican cherry, muntingia…I see cardinals eating these all the time
CORG
Persimmons
Black spots
Sapodilla
Surinam cherry
Too many other Eugenia’s to list and they are years away from fruiting
Phalsa
Canistel
Grumichama

Also happy to hear recommendations for stuff you they might like. I saw carrot wood trees are native food but don’t think I can plant it.

We feed our parrots all kinds of fruits, but she is a bit picky. Go lght with any new additions, and see how they do. I would be careful with seeds, annonas for example. No avocado. No cacao.

Would love to see pics of the parrots munching some fruit! =)

I bet carrotwood grows like a weed in 9b. It's in the longan family.
