Mine like broccolli, kale, shreaded carrots( you can buy them already shreaded) and dill. I don't give parsley because in some articles I have read that parsley is poisonous to budgies and tiels, I don't know if it is true. I hope not.

Mine love Kale, Swiss Chard, any lettuce, carrot tops and Spinach but like stated you feed spinach once in a blue moon and NEVER to a breeding pair
Spinach absorbs their calcium, - other words it takes away the calcium they are ingesting and this is not what we want to happen to our birds.
