If, by parakeets, you mean budgies, I am afraid that they are not big on eating fruits. They LOVE their greens and will eat veggies gladly as long as they are finely chopped and mixed with grains -which is the right food for them, by the way, as they should never be free-fed seed or pellets. Mine eat corn, carrots, peas, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and broccoli every day but they always leave the hominy and the green beans behind. They also eat grated coconut, chopped pineapple, chopped artichoke hearts, chopped water chestnuts, etc (everything needs to be chopped and mixed with the cooked grains).
