Re: [cayugabirds-l] Angry birds (Am robins!)

Agreed! I have some pokeweed growing behind the shed, no intention of removing (or tasting) it. I went to wiki initially to see if the toxins were intoxicating Anne’s robins but there’s no obvious support for that from this plant. I have seen robins et al get ripped on late season “raisins”

I have used pokeweed berries in my forest kindergarten class to dye wool an intensely beautiful shade of purple. 5-6-7 year olds, harvested, crushed, boiled over a campfire and stirred the pot full of wool roving and pokeweed berries. My students love knowing which plants are deadly poisonous. I

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Angry birds (Am robins!)

And I am living proof that eating young pokeweed is not deadly. We didn’t use 3 waters either, although drained it. But I am NOT suggesting everyone try it. Young spinach causes less panic. Or try lambs quarters. Anne Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 26, 2019, at 9:56 AM, Regi Teasley wrote: >

Yup everyone, I am fully aware of the toxicity of pokeweed and allow a nice big plant to grow up where I can see it fruit every year without any problems. There are many berries toxic to humans out there. And toxic plants. But they feed birds and other wildlife. Pokeweed berries are especially

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Angry birds (Am robins!)

For the record, don’t try this at home! Poke berries are very toxic to humans and many other mammals though some foxes, mice,etc are resistant, as are many songbirds that distribute the seeds after ingestion. Make sure your kids do NOT ingest these. Poke leaves are made edible only after three

[cayugabirds-l] Angry birds (Am robins!)

This morning I have a large number of robins all age/sexes foraging on my productive pokeweed berries and scratching leaves AND chasing each other hard and long. More athletic long chases than I am used to associating with robins. They are not just chasing around the berries although I
