Snowy Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Tried having a cuppa in the sun outside this morning. Put my cup down on the floor and next thing I know Florrie and Pom are merrily slurping it down!! Anyone know if it's likely to be harmful for them?

Budgies Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hiya Snowy, great timing! I knocked over a cuppa in the garden this morning, and Chutney slurped up loads of it, although Mango wasn't fussed. She's still alive right now, but I do drink decaff, so I wouldn't have thought there's anything that could potentially harm them in that. If your chooks are climbing the walls this afternoon, you'll know why!! Sue Budgie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 I did wonder about eggs with a stimulant effect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgies Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 You could have identified a niche in the market there, Snowy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 My lot have occasionally come across old teabags in the compost heap, and had them for their supper - it doesn't seem to have done them much harm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 We used to get a visiting magpie who used to slurp the chap who tidied the gardens' tea. Mentioning it to neighbours....it turned out he swigged tea everywhere. Mind you, Bill (garden chap) took 3 sugars....so maybe that had something to do with it. Bill would continue to drink from the mug that the magpie had been at. Yukk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 do you think the tannin could change the egg colours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Tried having a cuppa in the sun outside this morning. Put my cup down on the floor and next thing I know Florrie and Pom are merrily slurping it down!! Anyone know if it's likely to be harmful for them? I doubt it given some of the other things they eat/drink They're such opportunists. I know when I put my lunch down for a second and had to chase off Trinny who was convinced that any food going must be hers They even had to investigate the carefully emptied plate-just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 slightly off-topic, but I awoke to hear a slurping noise the other night - the Cornish Rex cat, (inherited from my brother when he moved house recently) was on the bedside table with its head in my mug, drinking fennel tea I reckon as long as it isn't a regular habit, it can't do them any harm. I think my girls deliberately add mud to the Glug to make it more tasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
