Kiwi fruits are hairy to keep the outside of the fruit good, while the inside is being developed. It helps protect insects from eating the inside because the hairs will stick to their legs causing them to try to detach themselves, which means they'll fly away forgettng what they were doing in the first place. The hairy coating is very rich in flavoniod antioxidants, which are very high in dietary fiber, causing them to have a mild laxative effect.

People say that kiwi fruit comes from New Zealand, but its not. Kiwi fruit actually comes from China, and was actually called Chinese goose berry, but china decided to give the kiwifruit to New Zealand, which is now a traditional fruit to us New Zealanders.
Mine really enjoy pomegranate seeds. I'd hesitate to feed whole without further research - while the rind traditionally has been used medicinally for humans, considering the amounts horses could consume I'd want reassurance that the amount of tannins etc. would be ok. But the part we normally eat, no problem.
(Prior answer claimed horses only eat apples - they enjoy, and can safely consume, a wider variety of fruits than just apples, though those are the most traditional offering.)
When the Chinese Gooseberry industry was becoming established in New Zealand the name was changed to kiwifruit possibly because of their likeness colourwise to the native bird.

Is it safe for an umbrella cockatoo to eat kiwifruit?
Yes but it is not good for a baby parakeet. If you feed a parakeet kiwi make sure to peel the kiwi first and cut it into small pieces that are consumable for the bird.
But I recommend bird seed that is good for parakeets to eat that you can find at your local pet store.
you put the kiwi fruit in a blender get the lifting leave it out for 13 hours then put safings of what ever you want in it put in the oven for 15 minutes and then leave it rest about 5 to 7 minutes and EAT IT
