My guys look at any herb as though it's their owners latest attempt at poisoning them. :p I might try parsley again though.

mine are good at anything as well :)

I'm going to get some parsley and maybe another type of herb to try to get the birds to eat. :p Some variety from the standard bok choy, broccoli and carrot would be nice.

If they don't like it hung chop the leaves off and give them the steams. Baby loves chewing on the steam part the most.

[Bea]

I offered them some last night, and some this afternoon. Last night it went ignored, and today they had a little nibble. It wasn't devoured with enthusiasm though. More like "mum, can't we just have the usual". ;)

I'm going to buy a bunch of different green and green herbs. Chop it all put, put it in a food dish and see how it goes.
