Default Kiwano

It's a new fruit I tried this week for Ruby and she loves it! It is the size of an elongated apple, yellow with real pointy "things" on it and on the inside it is lime green with all these seeds. (cantalope size seeds) Real watery. She sortof slurped it up! ha! Looks a bit like a blowfish! ha! Have you all ever given this to your birds?

Not heard of that fruit, maybe not able to get it in England but will look out for it. It sounds like the sort of thing Billy will try, he likes to play with his food, He picked all the seeds off his strawberry first.

I have never heard of it or seen it, yet it come from the Kalahari which is the desert area on the other side of the country. Thanks for posting.
