I was searching for some information about avocado toxicity with regard to birds and came across this Tufts University site. Though the various "lessons" are not in great depth, there is some terrific information here.

Thanks for having a look, Terri. Folks here on Pigeon-Talk really should click on some of the links and have a quick read. I think Cornell and some others have a similar deal .. that's probably in the links on this site that I didn't check

Under "The Poultry Industry - An Introduction", it is interesting that Muscovy ducklings hatch in 35-37 days, compared to 28 days for the other duck breeds. Must take longer to develop that cute mask.
