Most pet parents know that their feathered friends would love a special treat every now and then. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts of all kinds are enjoyed by nearly every species, but there are a few favorites that might surprise you.

Swiss chard is healthy, but it isn’t what you’re likely to reach for in the fridge when you need a snack. That’s not the case with birds! They love swiss chard of all varieties!

How about some watercress? It’s actually much more nutritious than kale, and it can easily be snipped into small pieces and placed in your bird’s bowl.

Ever eaten a radicchio? Here’s your chance! This vegetable looks a bit like purple cabbage and can easily be placed in a salad, but your bird is sure to love it too!
