Bobwhites (Colinus virginianus) were trained to peck a green lighted key to receive food. Bird response performance was monitored for 14 days, then birds were dosed with five levels of dieldrin (50 to 300 micrograms every other day) for 42 days while their response performance was monitored. At the end of the 42-day dosage period, mean brain concentrations of dieldrin ranged from 2.6 ppm to 11.8 ppm; lower concentrations associated with lower dosage levels. All dieldrin dosage levels altered cage behavior of bobwhites, dieldrin dosage levels greater than 100 micrograms resulted in slower and less accurate responses by dosed birds during the 42-day trial period.
将白喉鹑（Colinus virginianus）训练至啄一个绿色发光按键以获取食物。对鸟类的反应表现进行了14天的监测，随后在42天内给鸟类投喂五种不同剂量的狄氏剂（每隔一天50至300微克），同时监测其反应表现。在42天的给药期结束时，狄氏剂在脑中的平均浓度范围为2.6 ppm至11.8 ppm；较低的浓度与较低的剂量水平相关。所有狄氏剂剂量水平均改变了白喉鹑的笼中行为，在42天的试验期内，大于100微克的狄氏剂剂量水平导致给药鸟类的反应变慢且准确性降低。
