hi, i have ten ringnecks myself and my ringnecks absolutly LOVE passionfruit as well as watermelon,pear,rockmelon,sweet potatoe,orange,spinnach, kiwi fruit and other fruits and vegies but with the apples you have to be carefull because apple seeds are toxic to the birds they contain a small amount of cyinide or how ever you spell it lol,so i just peel the apples and all the other fruits i give them incase they have the chemicals on them,and just in the apples cut the core out just to be on the safe side , also if you feed them beans they have to be cooked first you just have to do a little research to find out what is ok,you will also find that they will have there favourite and after a while of having them you know what they love and what they like and even what they dont like but it is always good just to put a little bit of every thing in the cage so they get a good mixture of vitamins and minerals from the fruit and vegies.Some of my birds like orange and some will just eat a little of it and leave it so with them i just put a smaller piece in,but you will learn after a while,every second day i feed mine 5 or 6 different fruit and vegies at the one time then the next day they get mixed seed with a lil bit of corn and a little bit extra sunflower seeds coz they LOVE them but not to much coz they can get overweight by it they also get sprouted seeds , so i just mix it up for them but i spoil my birds since i have gotten them and fed them all this different foods they seem to be alot healther then when i got them ,not to say they wernt already healthy but they get alot more fruit and vegies and different type of food because the other people had soo many birds it would costs you a fortune to feed them all on this everyday. p.s you dont have to feed like hole apples(fruits) to them you can like cut an apple into 4 and give a bird a piece with like pieces of other fruit and vegies.
