Blackberry leaves and stems?

This isn't directly finch-related, but I have a young cockatiel who is fond of munching on foliage; what I was wondering is if anyone knows whether blackberry leaves and stems are at all toxic. I take cuttings frequently in order to feed our stick insect colony, and they come from a non-sprayed patch growing behind my house. Thoughts? I haven't seen blackberry mentioned on any of the safe/toxic lists, but I don't expect everything to be shown on those...:)

I dont know about cockatiels but I had a blackberry in my aviary and it didnt harm any of my finches.
