I don't necessarily. I just had it here and was wondering if it was something a duck could have as a treat.

Better not.

I don't have ducks so I don't know what makes good treats for them.

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.

What Are You Doing to Protect Your Flock From Bird Flu (H5N1) Infection?

I've covered the run with a tarp or solid roof stop poop from flying birds coming into the run

I've covered the run with netting to prevent wild birds from coming into the run

I've stopped putting out feed for wild birds

I've stopped free-ranging my poultry

I've made a new or temporary fenced area or run

I don't allow visitors near my chickens

I've temporarily stopped bringing in new chickens from elsewhere

I keep the feeders and waterers clean and do not give wild birds access to these facilities

I thoroughly clean all equipment I use with my chickens (shovels, rakes, etc.)

I clean up spilled feed so as to not attract wild birds

I clean & disinfect the chicken coop thoroughly regularly

I have special clothing and shoes ready to use when handling my chickens only

I do not share equipment with or reuse equipment from other flocks

I've stopped reusing egg cartons from others who keep chickens
