Are mini roses okay for finches to eat? I know that regular roses are. Also what about pineapple?

Are you talking about the rose plant or just the flowers??

Never heard of, or even thought of feeding them roses.

Just the flowers I think? it depends on how big the plant gets.

I've never heard or seen any bird eat flowers either... even in the wild I haven't seen any eat flowers. The birds outside our house constantly steal our raspberries off the bush!

I am not sure if the birds will try to eat the petals, but miniature roses are probably a safe plant IF they are grown organically (i.e. not covered in chemicals/pesticides). That is my understanding, anyway. Pineapple should be okay in moderation.
