Hi! I was wondering if you found any info regarding ducks and choke cherries? I know the pits contain cyanide. Over 60 species of bird can eat them safely. Chickens instinctively know to avoid the pit and eat the flesh only, but NOT my choke cherry crazed ducks!
They are much more capable of swallowing a mouthful whole & since they’ve discovered the beautifully enticing and overly abundant shrubs full.... well let’s just say, They Live For That Sheeit! I can’t put fence up in the forest they have free range in. I won’t lock them in the barn all season. I refuse to let them commit suicide because,even w a degree in Zoology, can’t find a solid answer or solution.
I realize your post is from 2018. I was wondering if you were able to discover any info since then? Thank you!
