I fount a cedar tree out in the woods and it has berries on it. Chip my flyer likes shredding the bark off cedar limbs to add to his nest but i never gave him berries. Does anyone know if they are safe for flying squirrels?

does anybody know if they are safe or not?

The berries are small and blue.

Birds are usually more sensitive to toxins than mammals, but I would avoid them - so many safe things to feed out there that you can be sure of...
