Owing to the unique physiology of birds, most toxicities are life-threatening and require prompt, well-informed action. It is often hard to ascertain which specific toxin or the amount of toxin to which the bird has been exposed. Therefore, the most important action is to treat the bird, not the poison. This article discusses the steps in diagnosing and treating toxicoses, from both natural and man-made toxins, that have been reported in avian species.
由于鸟类独特的生理机能，大多数中毒情况都危及生命，需要迅速且明智的应对措施。通常很难确定鸟类接触到了哪种特定毒素或多少毒素。因此，最重要的是治疗鸟本身，而不是毒素。本文讨论了已在鸟类中报道的、由天然毒素和人造毒素导致的中毒情况的诊断和治疗步骤。
