Hi All
Let  our new chooks out, for the first  time, into the wilds of the garden today and followed them to see what the preferred. Was alarmed to see all of them have a peck at the red flesh of the yew beries on the floor.
Am I right that yew berries are poisonous to all animals - or are Birds excepted?

They all went mad for sunflower seeds!
Cheers

The red part of the yew berry isn't poisoness (we can even eat that part if you feel brave although they aren't very nice) it's just the black seed in the centre that is, birds swallow these berries and the black berries pass through them without any problems.

Thanks Joyful,
was expecting to have to clear out the coop from them having the trots overnight!
