birdhouse Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Somewhere along the way, I lost the bookmark(s) for my favorite toxic list(s). Computers - grrrh!!! So anyway the random search comes back with, "Grapes - Sure! Grape vines - Fine! Grape leaves - What about 'em!?!" I'm guessing it stands to reason that if the fruit & vines are safe, the leaves are too. But I'm checking just in case. tuia!

Luvparrots Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 What you have never had wrapped grape leave foods. For shame, the Greeks for certain will not be inviting you over soon. (ha,ha)
SRSeedBurners Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 On Home Aviary Design, there are a couple members that grow grapes over the top of their aviarys for the birds to snack on, leaves, vine and fruit.
birdhouse Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Thanks, I was pretty comfortable about feeding them. But I did wanted to know if there was any reason to limit them. SterlingSL, what is "Home Aviary Design"? Sounds like it might be worth checking out. Janet - My experiences w/apparently all things grape vine related are expanding by the minute, thanks to my neighbors' "new" arbor. I've avoided stuffed grape leaves in the past because me & mutton/lamb don't mix (for this alone, most good Greek cooks would never forgive me!). BUT I am now looking forward to trying a recipe she gave me using hamburger. I munched a couple of leaves while I was washing the bunch she gave me to stuff. Also going to try some filled w/tabbouleh as suggested, too.
