Cat grass

I have seen some videos with birds of all kinds nibbling on cat grass. Some people have used it as an outside cage decoration and/or busy activity for their birds. I saw some at the pets tore today. I almost bought some for budgies. But I'd figure I better ask first. Lol! Any thoughts on this? They had two kinds, wheat grass, and oat, barley, wheat combined. I thought I would put it in top their cage so at playtime the can nibble.

It was all organic and the directions did say for cats, birds, dog, and small animals, but we know that not everything is safe for all pets even if it says so.

Yeah, we Also know that finches are very fragile with things like that.

Better to ask first

Yeah, it's safe, much much cheaper to grow with your own oats in a flowerpot though. It only lives a few days indoors and you can re-seed a new batch that way.

I think my Finches might like it. Going to give it a try.

Found these instructions: http://www.instructables.com/id/how-to-grow-cat-grass/

Seems pretty easy to grow.

We give it to the budgies at work and they go crazy for it. I tried giving it to my finches and they just sat on it and pooped.

Hahaha! I've noticed that about finches and budgies. Budgies are much more curious and adventurous in trying new things verses the finches.

They like to sit and sleep in cat grass and they are making something like UFO crop circles in it.
When I cut some of this grass and put into their cage the threw out of the cage everything. I need to cut it fine they eat some.
