I offer citrus regularly because birds need vitamin C and don't make it
themselves like predatory mammals do. :-)

I think Tangerines seem to be Freya's favorite.

I'll have to try Kale! I have 3 beautiful purple kale plants and have
found them to be inedible for us humans, so I let them live in pots just
because they are pretty.

I'll offer her some, thanks!
