Using binder twine of bales of straw as nesting material for canaries apparently resulted in a reduction of hatchability. However, the outstanding feature was the high mortality rate during the first week after hatching, with a peak on the fourth day and nestlings never growing any older than three months. Other symptoms consisted in marked retardation of growth and poor growth of feathers. The adult birds presented a normal appearance. The most likely cause was the presence of pentachlorophenol (PCP) averaging 285 ppm).
使用稻草捆的捆扎绳作为金丝雀的筑巢材料显然导致了孵化率的降低。然而，突出的特征是孵化后第一周的高死亡率，在第四天达到峰值，雏鸟从未活到超过三个月大。其他症状包括明显的生长发育迟缓以及羽毛生长不良。成年鸟外观正常。最可能的原因是存在平均含量为285 ppm的五氯苯酚（PCP）。
