Edible Flowers
Other than Nasturtiums,does anyone have suggestions for annual flowers I can grow that my conures could eat?I live in zone 5b.I already have many perrenials....daylilies,coneflowers,feverfew,helio psis,columbine,rudbeckias and lots more but I don't think any of these are safe.I use NO CHEMICALS on my flowers or lawn.

Here's a link to a list of edible flowers. Pansies came to my mind. They're great for human salads as well: The Kitchen Physician XI (Edible Flowers for Parrots)

Thanks for the link Birdlady,it's very informative.I already have some of those plants.I was suprised that tulips are ok,I thought they were toxic.I was hopeful about roses as the "hips" are loaded with vitamin C.This opens up a whole new snack menu for my conures.
