Aren't you worried about it causing liver disease too?

Yes, I'm concerned about ALL plants, herbs, etc. for my ducks. That's why I'm on here asking. Green tea is so healthy for us that I questioned might a few tiny pieces of green tea be o.k. for ducks as a treat.
At this point I'm going to assume it's not o.k.
Thanks for the question.
