Default Fruit

I have a cherry guava tree growing our front yard and I was just wondering whether it would be alright to give some of the fruit to my birds? The fruit is exactly like a guava but just smaller, it starts off green when unripe but ripens to a dark red/purple.

Default Should be fine

Should be fine for the fruit. Parrots are highly alergic to Avocado and chocolate is not very good for them.

Hi. Maxine, my blue and gold loves apples and pineapples. Grapes she likes but for some reason she does not like carrots. Any suggestions as to how to get her to eat her carrots.

Thanks
Dmitri

Try peppers or chillis, they do seem to like those. Try the orange peppers, may get her liking orange...
