Yesterday I got mango and papaya. I usually buy just mangoes, but I saw really nice looking papayas and decided to give it a go.

Here's what the birdies thought of it:





As you can see Lino LOVED it :dance4:

but Ringo...not so much



she's more of a mango girl :D

Papaya is one of THE best fruits you can give!! If I could choose only one fruit to feed ever, it would be papaya. Raptor loves it both fresh and dried, Mika will only eat it dried.

I don't like papaya so I've never given it to my lot...must offer some soon. My lot have started to enjoy persimmons...convenient as we have a tree.

Lino will put everything and anything in his beak...didn't come across of food or toy he didn't like. Ringo isn't like that :lol: She has opinions :lol:

Usually I come across sad looking papayas, so I don't buy them. Instead, I buy mangoes :) Papaya, mango and berrie (raspbery, blackberry, blueberry) type fruits are the best you can feed. :)

LOL Ringo's face.

Yummy!! Great photos.
Ringo's face was like- Are you kidding me? You want ME to EAT this? :rofl::rofl: She ate a bit and threw the rest on the floor and started cleaning her beak like mad :lol:

LOL that's like Rocco. He despises fruit! He will take a bite, spit it out, run around screaming his head off at me and then wiping his beak like I put something horrifying on it!

Sometimes a bird that doesn`t care for the flesh, will LOVE the little black seeds. They are peppery tasting.
Papaya is such a great fruit for birds; nice that you found some!

yea i know but unfortunately sunni isnt having it with payaya she hates it. but i still give her cantelope which is loaded with a lot of vitamin A and i also include a lot more things like vitamins and others things to fill the gap on her nutrition. she reminds me of a lil kid that doesnt want to eat her veggies lol

Those are great pics! :D We enjoyed some papaya here as well! :dance4: The fids enjoyed everything but the skin, and I enjoyed just the fruity part in my smoothie! Yum! They seem to be in season so I'll try to pick one up when I can, I've heard they are one of the fruits highest in natural enzymes! Very good for their digestive system. :)
