Leaves or fruit from 14 plants considered to be toxic to pet birds were administered by gavage to 15 pairs of canaries (Serinus canaria). Each bird was given 0.12 to 0.70 g of plant material. One pair served as a control and was given distilled water. The plant materials were flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, pulverized, and resuspended in deionized water for administration. Of the plants tested, 5 (oleander, lupine, foxglove, yew leaves, and dieffenbachia) were considered highly toxic and were associated with acute death of birds. The remaining plant samples caused no, or only transient, clinical illness.
将被认为对宠物鸟有毒的14种植物的叶子或果实经口管饲给15对金丝雀（Serinus canaria）。每只鸟给予0.12至0.70克植物材料。一对作为对照，给予蒸馏水。植物材料在液氮中速冻，粉碎，并重新悬浮在去离子水中以供给药。在所测试的植物中，5种（夹竹桃、羽扇豆、毛地黄、紫杉叶和花叶万年青）被认为剧毒，并与鸟类急性死亡有关。其余植物样本未引起临床疾病，或仅引起短暂的临床疾病。
