Exotic Fruits?

Hey y'all! My Red-Bellied has been very into the Avian Organics freeze-dried fruits and veggies. Now that I know she likes them, I was looking into other options for buying since AO is a bit far from me. I found a pack of exotic freeze dried fruits on Amazon that have no added sugars/additives. The ingredients seem healthy and the supplier seems good. I was just curious as to whether or not any of these fruits were considered unsafe? Thanks!

I looked up each fruit and found a "yes" for each one with images of parrots eating them - with the caveat no seeds (not a problem for freeze dried).

I'm guessing that even though there are no added sugars it depends on the fruit how much fructose there is and how it affects your bird/your bird's caloric needs.

Basically it seems none of these are toxic but maybe try a little at a time ;) For instance my ARN LOVES mulberries but they give him diarrhea which after the first terrifying event turns out to be documented in some random species.
