Wires may not be telephone. They are likely to be carrying electricity, possibly high voltage. Best course of action is to tell the others to leave kite where it is and ask for help from a responsible adult.

Anomalies in the relative sizes of Ni2+ and Mg2+ in octahedral coordination were found by Longo and Kafalas (1969) in the series of perovs-kites, CsMF3, and by Shannon and Prewitt (1970) in the series of rutiles MF2, where M = Ni, Mg, Co, Fe, and Mn. In both of these isostructural series the unit cell volume of the compound containing Ni was found to be greater than the volume of the compound containing Mg. This is in contradiction to the relative size of Ni2+ and Mg2+ in oxides. 

No data are available on the toxicity of copper to avian wildlife. All studies with birds and copper use domestic chickens, ducks, or turkeys (Table 3.6). Copper, however, may indirectly affect avian wildlife by curtailing certain prey species. Winger et al. (1984), for example, show that apple snails (Pomacea paludosa) are not only extremely susceptible to copper (LC50 of 24 to 57 pg/L in 96 h immatures most sensitive), but are the primary food of the snail kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis), an endangered species. The decline of the apple snail in southern Florida coincided with the use of copper-diquat to control hydrilla aquatic weeds (Hydrilla verticillata), with serious implications for the snail kite (Winger et al. 1984).

Spraying of PCP to control populations of water snails in rice fields of Surinam resulted in the death of fish and birds, including snail kites (Rostrhamus sociabilis), certain egrets and herons, and wattled jacanas (Jacana jacana). Levels of PCP in these birds and their food items suggested that PCP-contaminated food probably caused the deaths (Vermeer et al. 1974) (Table 23.5).
