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.

Not all species of kiwi are endangered, but the brown kiwi is one that is endangered. The biggest threat to the brown kiwi comes from dogs, feral cats and other imported pets including the stoat, of all things. New Zealand has no native predators. Being a small, flightless bird, its defenses are extremely limited. Many kiwis are also killed every year by unregistered Pig-Hunting dogs (registratrion requires Kiwi Aversion training) and being killed while crossing roads/highways.
Loss of habitat due to deforestation and destruction of large tracts of native bush is also endangering the brown kiwi. Not only does this threaten its food sources, but deforestation means the kiwi has fewer places to hide from its many predators. Prior to Europeans coming to New Zealand, the kiwi enjoyed a healthy population.

It's really dependent on how much of it you eat. Kiwi, as all fruits has a fair bit of sugar in it. Sugar means calories, and too many calories - no matter where they're from - can make you gain weight.

What kind of vitamins does kiwi have?
- Yes, kiwis have vitamin k
- Kiwifruit consistently rank at the top of fruit in nutrition density models which tell us exactly how nutritious food is. That means you get more vitamins and minerals per gram, and per calorie, of kiwifruit than most other fruit.
- Kiwi fruit is high in vitamin K. You may know also that garlic is a natural blood thinner, but you may not know that kiwi fruit also acts as a natural blood thinner to help prevent blood clots. Kiwi fruit is considered a food that is moderately high in vitamin K. A 1-cup serving contains 72.5 mcg of vitamin K, providing 90 percent of your daily value. When taking Coumadin, it is recommended that you limit your intake of moderately high vitamin K foods to less than three servings a day.
- While oranges have a deserved reputation as valuable sources of vitamin C, kiwifruit can also lay a claim on the vitamin C crown. In fact there is twice as much vitamin C in kiwifruit as there are in oranges. You only need one kiwifruit each day to get your recommended daily intake of vitamin C.
- A kiwifruit has about the same level of potassium as a banana - but only half the calories. This makes kiwifruit an excellent low-sodium option to access potassium, which is potentially beneficial for heart health and in the maintenance of blood pressure.
