Sallas Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Outside the place that I work they have a few Washington Hawthorn trees, they are covered in bright red berries. When I saw them, I thought, "Hey, I wonder if the TAGs would like these?". But, I want to make sure they are not poisonous for birds. I read online that regular native birds use them as food, but the seeds are poisonous to humans. (Also the berry itself is very good for your heart, btw). Anyone know anything about these berries and TAGs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I have tried to search out information on Hawthorn berries, but decided to ask an expert- my vet, he said they they are fine to be fed to the birds after soaking them for about 4 hours and then drian and feed. BUT the trees that are found in towns and cities may have been at soom time sprayed with chemicals, and you should not chance that the ones you are considerating have not been sprayed with this chemical. Only wild grown berries should be considered for feeding. Hope this helps;) Carolyn & Mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
