What an interesting bit of trivia. I wonder if other birds can safely eat hemlock, or only thrushes. I don't suppose there's been a test. Somebody must have just noticed some healthy thrushes eating some hemlock and then doing it again the next day.

Not a problem if cooked first. This is fascinating. I just read a mystery novel (very bad) about a woman caterer who was poisoned by hemlock in muffins. Which is apparently NOT POSSIBLE. Edit- unless of course she ate raw batter, which I do not think was the case) Shame on the author for doing insufficient research. The heroine did not die, unfortunately, because she knew that the antidote was caffeine and she quickly drank a gallon of expresso. She has lived to cater more dinners and solve more murders. (I TOLD you it was bad)
