Adult male bobwhite quail ( Colinus virginianus ) were fed a diet containing 0, 25 or 100 ppm paraquat dichloride. After 60 d on treated diets, discrimination learning was evaluated with acquisition and reversal tests. The three groups performed similarly on these tests. Dose‐related histopathological lesions were not found in liver, kidney or lung tissues.
