What a wicked winter we’ve had here in the American North East! And it’s taken quiet a toll on my garden. Even my super hardy plants, like Swiss Chard and Collard Greens are just piles of slime! But the days are getting longer and a little warmer, the geese are starting to move northward, and the robins are reappearing in the yard, so I know spring is on the way. I love spending time working in my yard, with my lovely flock watching from their sunny spot on the deck.
Whether you are an experienced gardener, a beginner, or a want to be gardener, as a parrot owner, you will find plants to be an incredibly enriching, physically and mentally, addition to their surroundings.
Here is a presentation I did all about the Benefits of Plants for Parrots for the Phoenix Landing Foundation. I hope you find some useful information in it.
Happy Gardening!
A Bird's Best Life 
Can we get this in printable form? I would love to have it at hand so I can check into these plants, etc.
What a wonderful resource for bird lovers, I have viewed and copied your information for future reference! I have begun introducing my green-cheeked conure to various greens listed in the presentation. There is initial resistance but I am determined to provide him with the best nutrition I can give him! I did not know that so many plants were of benefit and appreciate having this information available! Thank you so much!

What is “GSE”?
GSE is Grapefruit Seed Extract. You want to be sure to only use 100% oragnic. I prefer the Nutribotic brand

I just ordered some (after finally seeing your reply to me by chance!). Now I don’t recall why I wanted it for my amazons to begin with, or other details like ‘how much and how often and just how?? Thank you!
