Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Oral toxicity (LD50) of 4-fluoroaniline to Redwing blackbird was examined at dose concentration of 100 mg/kg of body weight.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of 369 chemicals was determined for 1 or more species of wild birds, always including either red-winged blackbirds or starlings. Of these, 180 chemicals were toxic to 1 or more species at 100 mg/kg or less. Statistical comparison of redwing, starling and rat data indicated that redwings were more sensitive to chemicals than starlings, and both were more sensitive than rats.

Oral toxicity (LD50) of 4-fluoroaniline to Redwing blackbird was examined at dose concentration of 100 mg/kg of body weight.
