Is this true?
Is there any other fruites/veggies we should avoid?

I know you should not give them avocados. From what I have read, not all avocados are poisonous to birds, but I wouldn't take any chances!
I think tomatoes should be OK, since I see outside birds eating tomatoes from gardens!

The Finch Information Center has an entire article on safe and unsafe foods. Many foods that we currently feed may be on the safe list, but still need to be fed in moderation. Here is the link:

I use dried tomatoes sometime in my mixes and my parrotlet loves fresh tomatoes. Avocados are a no.
