i've already asked this in cudder's thread about feeding fruit and veggies, but you never answered :roll:

i don't feed mine swede peelings but am curious about why you shouldn't...

[muntjac]

i was always told by my gramps that the swede is to fibrous and also peppery to do them any good,and i have never actually had a bird eat them anyways

Which bit of the USA are you in? It's a very big place! (it would be an idea to put this in your profile).

What we call swede here in the UK is called rutabaga in the USA.

I wonder why the lack of turnips where you are???
