Cute photos :wub: . I haven't given bok choy to my birds, I should offer them some.

Do your birds eat the white stalk part too or just the leaves?

I think you should give them the whole stalk. My budgies usually eat the green leaf first and then the stalk. Sometimes they eat the stalk away first and then they eat the leaf after it has dropped to the ground.

I put mine in a hanging bowl. They drop it all out of bowl onto floor .... and then eat it l.o.l. :wub:

Is it really good for them?? I might grow some.

Yes, it contains iron. Silver beet is good, too. Both provide entertainment because the budgies enjoy ripping up the leaves.

It is easy to keep a bunch of bok choy crisp. I carefully wash the bunch in water containing aviclens. I shake the excess water off and place the bunch in a plastic container lined with paper towels. I put the lid on and keep the container in the fridge.

Mine get bok choy a lot. Its better than lettuce and about the same value as silver beet.

Hi Jack, it grows really quickly and mine eat it even if it gets to flower stage. Just pull whole plant, wash off roots etc and give them the lot.

I normally stick to silverbeet, but they look as though they are loving the bok choy.....I'll give it a go!!
