Welcome both your birds are so cute :P

 

Anna I edited your LONG list to remove Kiwi fruit becuase it's on the bad list.

are you sure about that??? mine have always shared kiwi with me, budgies & conures & i've never had a problem???

and this is a list out of a cookbook made for birds

 

http://www.parrots.com/faq-hn.htm

 

i've done many google searches and this is on out of many that say kiwi is fine, so please post your info showing its not

 

im panacing now!

:P It's been floating around this forum for ages that Kiwi fruit was on the bad list. *goes hunting now*

Edited by Nerwen

Yeah I've hunted around the Food And Nutrition area and can't find it listed. I must have added it myself some time ago.

 

Forgive me Anna for the mistake.

(Laughing out loud), so panic over??? phew!

well there is proof of people offering it with out a problem.

Okay thanks to all :)

 

Hmm :P that list may be useful thanks "Thirtyfive Black"
