This is interesting.

Orphaned flying-foxes raised in captivity and fed commercially grown fruit still prefer native fruits and blossoms, and turn their noses up at the old food once they have been given a taste of what they would normally eat in the wild.

I keep telling people they only go for the commercial crops because they can't find anything else to eat. No one believes me.
