| I remember my Grandad feeding lettuce to his budgies, he said they get very little nutritional value from it but it kept them occupied. I give diced carrot to my race birds. |

| I've known lots of fanciers in the past using water that has boiled veg, such as spring cabbage, spinach and stuff. I don't think it would do any harm at all as a lot of nutrients would go into the water. |
