Fruits should not be underestimated. I would say ekkies need more fruits than veggies. They are able to extract nutrients from fruit and it gives them the energy they need. Not to mention, there is a lot of water in fruit, which they also need. It is also a good source of fiber. All I know is that I see my birds light up when I give them fruit, and they just sort of eat the other things as well, but FRUIT is what they seem to be after, and most naturally adapted to be eating. In my experience at least.
