Decorative grass (Carl Forester, I think the name is) safe to go in pheasant and coturnix coop?

[MeanCheek]

raspberries should be fine.
The leaves are 'edible' for people too (in form of tea.)

Yes, but that tea...

Yes….basically all green veggies/herbs are safe…..just want to avoid tomatoes and citrus fruits

Chives are not safe. Never give a bird onions

Yes sir!
Glad to have a second opinion.
What about mint?

quick check suggests yes since many people feed it to both parrots and other cage birds.

The grass is still alive, and I just added mint. It looks beautiful!!! The mint smells so nice too. I think I'll go ahead and add a few little raspberry plants, as it seems those are alright?
The coop was built over a small Douglass Fir, and it is doing well, so I think I might add another.
Is Kinnikinnick (also called Bear Berry) safe? It grows naturally here, and the wild turkeys eat the berries. Mostly I'd just want it to have some green through the long winter. Are there any other evergreen plants that are safe for pheasants and quail?
Are all of these safe for doves, too?

@007Sean do you have input?

 

[MeanCheek]

The mint has taken a beating. It looked a lot better this morning. At least it smells good.

Is Bee Balm/Horsemint/Monarda safe?

 

[MeanCheek]

In one of my two old, outdated pheasant books it talks about hedges of Privet. Now, Privet is toxic to chickens, so it must be toxic to pheasants too, right?

I need a list so next time I go to town I can see what the nursery has!
