Fruit

hi... sunny is getting fussy about his fruit and i thought i could try some new exotic fruits that are in season here in Australia.
does anyone know if IRN's can eat star fruit (Carambola), dragon fruit / red pitaya (Hylocereus undatus), feijoa (sometimes called pineapple guava), regular guava (Psidium guajava), persimmon (Diospyro), Longan (Euphoria longan) or if these fruits are poisonous?
he usually eats a small cob of corn, half a passionfruit, half a jalapeno chilli or other type of pepper and some apple or pear and a couple of crimson grapes everyday. he also has access to parrot seed mix and millet a couple of days a week.
My problem is that he is slowly but surely turning his beak up at things he used to like (such as strawberries, red papya, brocolli, kiwi fruit etc). Is what i 'm feeding him enough? i'm worried that he isn't getting enough variety and therefore not enough vitamins. He even chucks a tantrum if he dosn't get passionfruit.
spoiled little bird!
Thanks heaps from Bec and Sunny!
