BEANS

Most beans are safe however, throughly cook them to be safe. Anasazi, Black, Fava, Kidney, Lima, Navy, Pinto, and Soy esspecially have reports of being toxic and causing some digestive discomfort when uncooked. These should be limited if not avoided completly. Soy beans sprouted are ok but only when grown long enough. Lima beans, in my experience are ok as long as cooked well and not fed very frequently.

Honey is used in treat sticks like the one at http://www.petco.com/product/2262/Kaytee-Cockatiel-Honey-Stick.aspx So apparently it's OK. You're better off to stick with pasteurized honey though. Raw honey contains botulism spores. Adult humans can usually handle the spores but it's dangerous for infants. We don't know enough about the effect on birds to know if raw honey is safe for them.

Escarole is fine to give to the birds, but as you noticed it does have a bitter taste which may put the bird off from eating it. Why?....because in the wild bitter is a signal to toxic.

If you look at the leaf posted there is a brown horizontal line across the center of the leaf. Cut this area out because from the break leads to decomposition and bacteria has started in that area. The same with the brown areas at the of the leaf.

ANY green leafy veggies used should always be blemish free and washed under running water....or mix some vinegar in wash to swish the leaf in and then rinse with water.
