Dandelion Greens

Safe Herbs

Dandelion greens are genuinely safe and nutritious for most pet birds, including parrots, cockatiels, budgerigars, and backyard poultry. They provide vitamins A, C, and K alongside calcium and antioxidants, making them a worthwhile addition to a varied diet. The only real concern is overfeeding, which can cause loose droppings due to the high water and fiber content.

Clinical note: Non-toxic herb; overfeeding may cause transient loose droppings — no systemic toxicity reported.
