Organic Musts

Postby Navre » Sun Aug 09, 2015 2:26 pm

Where would I find a list of fruits and vegetables that must be organic for birds, as opposed to those that can be conventional?

I know I have heard that blueberries must be organic, but what other things must be organic?

Here is the website that puts out the list every year (they also put out a list of the 'cleanest'). I recommend you save it so you can check it out every year because although some stuff stays there year after year (like apples which are ALWAYS number one), some go from the dirtiest to the cleanest and vice versa (like tomatoes, for example):
