Fwd: amygdalin > hydrogen cyanide

By Birding-Aus, on December 12th, 2018%

I just did a quick review of the scientific literature of this issue. Ingested amygdalin is absorbed across the intestinal wall in birds, but isn’t metabolised, and is excreted intact in the urine (the liquid component of the droppings).

Kind regards, Stephen
