I am not asking about sunflower seeds.

(no yelling, just clarifying^^) :p

I have a lot of volunteer sunflowers growing in the back yard and in the front by the house. The finches have finished off several heads and I want to cut back some old growth.

My yard has NOT been treated in any way what-so-ever. Everything grows all natural - the sunflowers grew in plain dirt, now growth food or dirt added.

When I cut the stalks down I'll just pitch them but I was wondering if I could strip the leafs off and give them to the rabbits as a treat.

Does anyone know?
 
I've seen sunflower leaves listed as a safe plant to feed rabbits. As with any addition/changes to the diet, start with small amounts.
