Re:[cayugabirds-l] Dead Birds Mulberry Tree

2011-06-24 Thread bilbaker
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...

Bill

The unripe fruits and the milky sap of several mulberry species are  
mildly toxic, and can cause hallucinations and stomach upset.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Dead Birds - Mulberry Tree

2011-06-23 Thread Asher Hockett
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.
