Herbs are wonderful plants both for our birds and ourselves. If you are not sure of which ones are safe here is a chart. I am currently giving my budgies Thyme Tea (weak solution) for yeast infection. They can also safely eat the herb itself.
Herbs are very tasteful ingredients for many dishes that we're cooking day by day. But there is a whole lot more you can do with the delicate and aromatic leaves and stems than seasoning your food. Many birds also love to eat fresh herbs. And some of these plants have a positive effect on your bird's health because they're natural remedies.
