Re:[cayugabirds-l] Dead Birds Mulberry Tree
Hi Bob, I have lived with Mulberries (both red and white varieties) in my yard at several points in my life and never seen anything like this. I have often eaten them myself. I have seen birds eating Mulberries to no ill effect, and I have seen birds intoxicated from Mulberries, as well as Cherries that have fallen and fermented. I do wonder whether the roots of this tree have tapped into something toxic/lethal to birds, but not toxic to plants, and that it has been passed to the fruit. Is it possible that there was any kind of dumping in the area before your friend lived there? While I know this statement will seem obvious, I'm going to say it anyway, no one should be eating berries from those particular trees unless the fruit has been tested for toxic chemicals etc...

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Dead Birds - Mulberry Tree
A couple of thoughts: Alcohol poisoning. With the recent very hot spell, coinciding with sugar development in the berries, fermentation is a good liklihood. The link posted by Geo refers to mild toxicity. However, that is directed at us for human consumption. Birds have a lower threshold for most toxins. Perhaps the combination of the previous two possibilities led to over consumption due to corrupted judgment on the birds part. Are deer prevalent there and is there a possibility of e. coli? Are birds susceptible to that? Have specimens been collected for a toxicology analysis by the lab? If not maybe that could be done - with caution exercised by anyone doing it.
