Aussie Finch Forum

Is it possible to feed your birds this native spinach?

Absolutely. Certainly edible by humans, so go for it. They might take some time to get accustomed to it, so try a little and often until they get into it.

I have grown it and fed it to my finches in a mixture of fresh greens offered in the past. It was eaten as keenly as other broadleaf greens. I have heard that it is high in oxalic acid, as is silver beet and some other greens, but wouldn't hesitate to use it as part of a varied green food component of a diet for finches.
