Pear, banana, raisins, seeds, orange, sugar water - all on my bird feeder daily and they love it. The tuis love the orange too.

My tomatoes, apple trees, and grape vines, keeping them all going and the Rosellas in the tree just meld in when chomping on the apples .

I read recently that some birds (Tuis particularly) love bananas so I carefully nailed some to a fence top and not a bird came near them. We have large bush areas around us and I do notice some birds which normally left some trees alone are changing their feeding habits. However sparrows seem to be the ones missing out so I try to put water and food out for them.

#6- They are changing their habits. Our two tuis never ever go near our fruit trees, but they're busily eating our apples on the tree this year, as are most others.

Just providing water at present as there is plenty of fruit, seeds and bugs for them, and the tuis have gone elsewhere as the nectar plants have finished for the season.
