Cornelius rac@sherpa.UUCP uunet!sherpa!rac I believe that the coating on the pit is toxic to birds. The fruit itself is OK but if the bird bites into the pit it may get sick. The best course is probably to keep the fruit away from the bird completely. It may not have eaten the pit last time, but it may think it is a good toy next. -- Dale A.
