Offering Swiss Chard to parrots. How?

[Saemma]

I finally remembered to purchased some today. I don't think I've ever eaten swiss chard in my entire life.
Can the whole thing be offered (leaves and stalk?) or must I remove a certain part? TIA.

I rinse it really well and tear it up into pieces-I use some of the stalk,but not the really big thick parts!

Thanks so much Bonnie! Really had no clue..

Rinse it very very well first... then just stick it in the cage! Lola loves to shred the thick parts of the stem and she eats the leafy greens. The budgies also nibble the leafy greens as well They loooove it!!

I use the whole thing as well, the bigger guys like shredding up the fiberous stalk part.

I skewer and hang it up with other veggies.

Hahaha, Chard is sooo yummy for people, steamed and peppered with a little butter.
But for the birds I just tear it up and mix it in to other foods like veggies mixes or sometimes I toss it in an omelet for them
We are working away at a head of Kale right now, LOL Prudence likes it raw, Penny and Peaches preffer it warmed or steamed. Picky buggers!
