Can Guineas Eat Cherries ?

I know cherry pits are poisonous, possibly even cherry wood, can be poisonous to animals. A rabbit breeder said her rabbits died after she gave them some cherry branches to chew on.

Cherry seeds (pits) contain cyanogenic glycosides, which are poisonous even to humans. Adults could eat a few and nothing much would happen, but children and pets would have higher sensitivity.

Not sure if this is the case with birds?
