Ripe berries of the
firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea)
can be collected during September and October. Because of their
spiky thorns that grow along the branches it is not so easy picking them
without getting hurt. Most parrot birds love those juicy little
berries. You can serve firethorn berries on a plate or hanging on a
branch. Don't worry, the birds will instinctively pay attention with the
thorns.
