I don't know what dock is.

I feed my girl oats and barley about 1/3 of the time, maybe less. She loves them.

its a wild weed basically we always used it as kids if we got a nettle sting. the juice from it is ment to soothe the pain

Hi,

I used to give dock leaves to my old budgie all the time. He really liked them. As long as they haven't been sprayed with chemicals I guess they are fine, they never caused him any harm anyway..

That said, I have no idea whether they are recommended or not. I'm just going on what I have done before.

Hope it helps,

Barley is a great thing to give to birds. The same goes for oats. :) My tiel used to fish out the pieces of barley when i made homemadevegetable soup. :)
