Bilimbis are the favourite of parrots. They will just chop them to bits. Just cannot click them as they camouflage with the greens around. We use bilimbis in curries and chutneys and also make pickle. Have you seen these?

This pickle is made from bilimbis that grow in our garden It is a sweet and sour pickle. Although I do not much like pickle there are always guests that love...

It is sour but parrots enjoy it If you like anything sour you can eat them.

@allknowing it would be, so no need to add lime. It's a simple salad made using bilimbi (thinly sliced), chili, shallots, salt, sugar and canned sardines.
