We have a lot of these around we always called them wild carrots. But looked them up and saw other plants that were called that so not sure. I think clover and stuff is safe though right?15900937759585584931789467622095.webp
 
They do look like carrot tops, but the only way to be sure is to check if they are attached to an actual carrot!
Clover is safe, but if you have any doubts about what you are feeding then leave it out.
If you are unsure then maybe investing in a good book that is relevant to your area would make sense.
 
Wild carrot often has tiny little white flowers. Personally I avoid it as it is often confused with Hemlock (Which is poisonous) and I'm not experienced enough to trust myself to differenciate.
 
I didnt know it was so similar to hemlock until I was researching it yesterday. I used to give this to all my animals ALL the time without even knowing about that plant lol. But I found out that if the stem is hairy then its wild carrot, also hemlock has purple spots on the stem and no hair :)
