diet-kiwi seeds
Please can anyone tell me if its okay to feed my ringneck kiwi fruit with the seeds? Or should I remove the seeds before feeding?
Re: diet-kiwi seeds
Okay thank you so much. What birds do you have if I may ask?
Re: diet-kiwi seeds
Indian Ringneck, Budgerigar, Canary
I present the fruit cut in half and they eat what they want. Some prefer the seeds, some the fruit. None eats the skin.

Okay thanks for the info. I have two ringnecks. One is 6 months but he's already developing a black ring. I understood that happens after a year. Maybe I was wrong. Anyway thanks again.
Re: diet-kiwi seeds
could he be a little older than you were told?..
I got my bird at 6 months and his ring started showing at around 8 months .. it was faint but it was definitely showing... yours is just an early bloomer i suppose..
and as for the topic at hand... yes kiwi seeds are perfectly safe for your bird and likely good for him too

Re: diet-kiwi seeds
No I got him when he was two weeks old. Will try to upload a picture. And yes I guess he's an early bloomer. Also he hasn't gone through the bluffing stage. Is that still to come or am I just lucky?
Re: diet-kiwi seeds
I think he should have already bluffed.. maybe it was subtle
Re: diet-kiwi seeds
I don't think so. I never got bit. Thanks for the info.

Re: diet-kiwi seeds
I spear washed unpeeled kiwi fruit on a skewer and hang it up in the cage, Sanjay loves biting chunks of skin and pulp off to get to the seeds in the middle.

We swapped forbidden things for a treat with our dogs, you could try this.
