Looking for greens

My favorite farmer at the Mtn. View Farmer's Market was not there today. The birds are begging for greens!

[update]
A reader asks, "What are greens?" Any leafy vegetable serves. Fruit too, as long as it's soft like watermelon. Geese are grass grazers normally, so they don't really need lettuce or anything that nice, but there isn't any grass here for 9 months out of the year so market leftovers are second best.

Today the favorite vendor returned, so we are back in action. Lots of happy ducks, geese and guineas today.

pls explain 'greens'? actual plants, or tops, cut off, for birdfood? I am wondering if it may be possible to get from 'alternate' source.
