Yew berries
-
There is a marked species difference to susceptibility to poisoning from yew berries. The toxin is contained within the seed. The flesh is reputed to be safe to eat for any brave human who dares to eat them. The berries are eaten by wild like. Grey squirrels and some birds will dissect the fruit and reject the seeds. Other birds swallow to the whole berry but the seed passes through the digestive tract intact
