You'll need to check each animal type, to see which fruits are safe for which critters. I know peaches and other stone fruits are toxic to goats, but apples, bananas, berries, and pears are fine, as *occasional* treats.
The thing to keep in mind is all fruits are high in sugars, and a high sugar diet is rarely healthy for livestock. Sugar can set them up for serious digestive issues, and rumens can die (very painfully, and within hours) from the bloat it causes - and no - that doesn't mean they'll stop.
I'm not sure about the birds, though I know veggies are better for them.
