The message
from Janet Baraclough contains these words:

The fleshy part of yew berries can be eaten, the (deadly) poison is only
in the seeds.

I know. But the point is, birds safely eat the whole yew berry
including the seed, and we can't. Their digestive tract doesn't break
down the seed, but emits it in perfect condition to grow into a new yew
wherever the bird poohed it.

Pooh-pooh!

(= yew-yew)

Actually, the chances are that we would do the same, as per tomato seeds
- but all you have to do is to chew one...
