title: Endrin toxicity in cagebirds.
abstract: The deaths of approximately 320 cagebirds (finches, doves, quails) were found to be due to ingestion of panicum seed (Panicum miliaceum) contaminated with endrin. Most birds were found dead but some showed flight instability prior to death. No gross or microscopic lesions were found in necropsied birds.
