Neurotoxin?[edit]

That certainly doesn't sound plausible to me, but I'm no expert. Can anyone confirm or deny that sentence?

(Hi, me again. This link: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/02/14/MNGUKBAJS61.DTL seems to indicate that there's only one 'venomous bird' in the world, and that's a result of diet, not endogenous toxin. I've yanked the sentence

They secrete a neuro-toxin strong enough to kill a human from their razor beaks.

as misinformation, but please feel free to put it back if you know better.) 4.17.250.5 21:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
