Is polygala poisonous to birds? - Birds

Is the name of your tree a privet? If so it is ok for birds+ Butterfly's they love the leaves + flowers . The ground will also be ok .

To identify venomous snakes quickly, without going too close, it helps to remember that they are fatter than harmless snakes, and usually taper at the neck and tail, while the non-poisonous varieties tend to be thinner and evenly shaped from head to toe, like a garden hose. Venomous snakes have a skinny neck and a diamond-shaped head, like a spade. They also tend to be more colorful, and aggressive. To play it safe, never provoke any snake; leave the area as fast as you can.

Poisoning A Skunk
Here are types of poison used on skunks:
Anticoagulant (rat poison): Includes warfarin, etc.
Antifreeze (Ethylene glycol)
Bromethalin (a different class of rat poison)
Cholecalciferol
Strychnine
When many people think about killing animal one option that will often come to mind is using poison, but this really isn't a good way to deal with a pest animal. Laying out poison for a skunk can often have unforeseen consequences, and many domestic animals have been killed after getting to a poison that has been laid out for another animal. This is also an inhumane way to kill an animal, and the skunk will often look for a place to hide in safety, which can often lead to people discover a rotting carcass beneath their house or in a cavity in the property.

Be careful where you place it

SOMETHING CLOGGING IT A BIRD NEST?

There are three venomous snakes in Ohio-
Northern Copperhead.
Eastern Timber Rattlesnake.
Eastern Massasuaga Rattlesnake.
These snakes feed on rodents, frogs, lizards, squirrels and
even birds. I suggest that any of the three could be a threat
to your fish.

Summary:
1. Take immediate care of your skin: take off and wash your clothes
2. Apply rubbing alcohol. You can apply rubbing alcohol to your skin to dissolve the poison ivy or poison oak oils.
3. Rinse the area with cool water. Never use warm or hot water, as this will open your pores and allow more of the toxins to sink in.
4. Completely clean the area. Regardless of the location on your body, make sure that it was thoroughly rinsed with water.
5. Don't scratch the rash. Even though the rash is not contagious, you could break the skin and allow bacteria to enter the wound.
6. Cool off the exposed area. Apply cold compresses or apply an icepack for 10 to 15 minutes.
