yes, i'd like to know too....i thought of growing some in the bottom of my aviary...

Parsly is fine in small quantities. Not sure what other herbs are good...

My tiel loves parsley but my budgies turned their noses up at it. Im not sure about chives as they are oniony. Mine budgies all love rocket and watercress which you can grow in the garden.

Parsley is good,mine turned their beaks up at mint and lemon balm,I also tried them with fennel and they didn't like that either!

Here's a more comprehensive list.

ive never tried Goobs with Parsley and i have a healthy bush growing in the garden too -

 

Buuzbee im going slightly off topic here but im being lazy and can't be bothered to find the post about the bottle brush - but tell me, what did you find out about it? Is it safe or did you end up pulling the whole lot out?

I tried all mine on parsley, and got the expected reaction - What on earth is that? Looks poisonous to me. Who's going to tell her where to shove it? *All excitedly yell out 'I will!'*
