Best Answer

Platypuses are not poisonous, as for anything to be "poisonous" it must be ingested.

Adult male platypuses have a venomous spur on their hind ankle through which they deliver a powerful, agonising venom.

Platypuses never engage in cannibalistic behaviour. They feed on invertebrates on the floor of the creeks and rivers in which they hunt for food.

Mallard ducks can eat several unshelled, small peanuts at one time. They can also eat whole pecans and acorns. So, there is no reason they could not eat uncooked beans. As to whether they would "like" uncooked beans, I am not sure.
