Are Zenias safe?

Post by Paul's Amazing Birds » Thu Sep 15, 2016 5:58 pm

I have about 75 of the extra large Zenias plants in my garden. The more you pick, the more they bloom.
The leaves and flowers look like something my birds would like to eat as a fresh veggie but I can't find Zenias on any of the safe or toxic lists. Any other lists that might have this plant? one?

Thanks Cindy,
I'll save these three lists for future reference.

I just saw this thread, I have a TON of zinnias and they froze just a few days ago. I already have seed so I'm going to go out and harvest some of the seed heads outside for the birds.
