General
Medicinal plants are not only healthy in certain amounts, but can also aid in the healing of certain diseases.
Like medicines, many medicinal plants are harmful or even toxic when overdosed.
Therefore, as long as these are not expressly bird food plant declared, they must not be fed as fresh food or even in larger quantities.
