You'll need to check each animal type, to see which fruits are safe for which critters. I know peaches and other stone fruits are toxic to goats, but apples, bananas, berries, and pears are fine, as *occasional* treats.

The thing to keep in mind is all fruits are high in sugars, and a high sugar diet is rarely healthy for livestock. Sugar can set them up for serious digestive issues, and rumens can die (very painfully, and within hours) from the bloat it causes - and no - that doesn't mean they'll stop.

I'm not sure about the birds, though I know veggies are better for them.

I have resources, so if you have a question about a particular plant, just ask. By the way, bananas, as a very occasional treat are always favorites, and healthy - just high in sugars, so very limited.

I feed my 2 raw, homemade. Hubby feeds his 1 kibble. I'm not a fan of kibble, he's not a fan of doing the work I do, to make the food. All 3 are omnibus, and will happily eat anything we put in front of them. As long as you're not giving them xylitol, onions or most other alliums,  chocolate, grapes, raisins, pecans, cashews, pistachios, hazelnuts, and a few other odds & ends, they will be fine - even healthier.

Garlic is controversial, but even my vet agreed that just enough that you'd expect random polite company to enjoy it - not a lot, is not only not bad for them, but offers the same heart health benefits, as well as helping fight heart worms.

Some of our dogs favorite training treats are small dices of carrots (in moderation - they're high in sugar), celery, cabbage, broccoli, pumpkin, & cauliflower. Blueberries (in moderation) are excellent for their eyes, particularly helping with the brown, nose-staining eye goo. Strawberries are great, and high in vitamin C - even the tops are great for them. Cranberries are great for urinary tract health, but not so much the sweetened dried ones. I avoid legumes, swapping in walnut or almond butter instead of peanut butter, because legumes tend to be inflammatory and high in sugars.

Sorry - you didn't ask for a book, lol.

Not a book, (though she has a couple) but a website/blog/store. More recipes, tips, tricks, product recommendations than I could shake a stick at - Darcy's got it all.

Chickweed, in moderation, should be fine, lambs quarters will be great. Not sure about the poplar. Go easy with grass, it's something dogs usually chew on when they feel nauseated, and want to puke - kinda like epicac.

My favorite wooden spoons and utensils are all either bamboo, maple, or olive wood...

I have to admit, Jesse - I would have told her she had a choice -  to either do it again, using the zippers I provided, or give my money back, so I could give it to someone who would actually do the work they were paid to do.

I would imagine pushing oneself up any ramp that long, in the rain would be incredibly uncomfortable and difficult. I've had to use a wheelchair on carpet - even on a level surface, it can be incredibly difficult, depending on the type of carpet, of course. My experience was with the Atlanta airport's carpet. It gave too much resistance. I think a cover/roof, if you can manage it, over the ramp would be a wonderful feature, for both safety and comfort.

Those look amazing, and the ones in the jars! WOW! Simply gorgeous!

Blech. I'm sorry. Mechanical stuff... ugh.
