Yes, celery leaf is fine. The stalk is good too.

Thanks! I figured so. But I always like to make sure when I feed new things.

I like to get bunches of kale, collard greens, bok choy, etc. and weave them all over the bars of the cage, top and sides. I buy organic but still wash them off and weave them when they are still dripping wet. My caiques especially like to pull the greens in and do some "surfing". -- Another idea for offering fresh is to get a flour or corn tortilla, fill it with chopped fresh veggies, roll it up and hang it. This also addresses the instinct to forage.
