Toxicologisch profiel

Persin Cardiotoxicity

Avocado contains persin, a fungicidal toxin that causes myocardial necrosis (heart-muscle death) and respiratory distress in birds. Even a small bite can be fatal within 24–48 hours.

Air-Sac Vulnerability

Birds breathe with a continuous-flow system involving air sacs that concentrates airborne compounds — including vapors from overheated non-stick pans (PTFE) and fumes from cooking onions — far more than mammalian lungs.

High Metabolic Rate

A bird's resting metabolic rate is 2–4× higher than similarly sized mammals. Toxic thresholds are reached at much lower absolute doses, making even brief exposures potentially lethal.

Avocado

Avocado is toxic to birds. The persin in the fruit, skin, pit and leaves can cause sudden heart and breathing failure, and pet birds are extremely sensitive.
