Is basil safe for finches?

I was thinking of including it as part of their diet from my fresh basil plant, if it isn't toxic.

My birds are not the gourmets of basil.

I've been wondering about basil SEED - also kalonji (onion seed). Does anybody know if those are safe?

Turn towards home, and go there. Many overs, over woods and fields, streams and hills, many overs. Just turn towards home. How else would one go there? Perhaps it was a dream, and you have awakened from it. May the earth rise up beneath you, with home in your heart, and your person waiting.
