Even more foraging related questions? (Hawthorn and weeping willow to be precise)

These two bushes are next to each other in the garden. Are they both different types of hawthorn? Or are neither hawthorn? If they are can she have this daily or sparingly?

Also, there is a big weeping willow tree in front of my house and I've read that that's fine for her to eat but I haven't seen anything said about it on here? Is it safe?
 
Both Hawthorn, both fine to feed but make sure you remove any berries (and buds and flowers in spring)

Weeping willow is fine too, but as with all forage, start slowly!
Especially with willow as they will snarf loads down as if you have never fed them:lol:

Thank you, you're so brilliant at this :lol: I have done, started with one leaf now she's up to little branches :) Yeah she goes mad for the willow!
