papaya excellent - no problem with radicchio although never let them become habituated to any one food, chop the mix up more finely and they'll get a little of everything.
strawberries too high in tannins - let them chew on watermelon with the rind which is good roughage for the digestive tract and also provides beak wearing exercise.
green pepper out - broccoli and spinach, while rich in vitamins and minerals, are cruciferous and block absorption of calcium necessary for bone and shell building - offer only occasionally.
keep it varied - provide natural sunlight with access to dandelion, clover, plaintain and native grasses whenever you can - they thrive outside in warm weather.
rose of sharon blossoms, mulberry leaves are excellent treats.
and the cherryheads especially appreciate earthworms and slugs.
also they need a seasonal rest period down time.
And do not overfeed.
