Corrected entry: Blu is drinking hot cocoa. But the point is that hot cocoa is poisonous for birds.

Correction: It could actually be cacao, which is a "chocolate" safe for animals like dogs. Look it up.

Correction: Pure cocoa is toxic to most animals in sufficient doses, this is true. But there's nothing saying that the cocoa in Bu's cup is real cocoa or, if it is, undiluted enough to kill him. There's simply not enough information given in the movie to call this a mistake. Blu thinks it's cocoa, that's all we're told.
