When homeowners find dead or dying birds near their feeders, they often do not know where they should report the incident. If you ever find yourself in this predicament, here is the answer to this perplexing situation.
According to Todd Schneider a biologist with the Georgia Wildlife Conservation Section, “A single dead bird isn’t a cause for alarm, but (finding) four or more dead birds in a short amount of time could signal a problem and should be reported to the DNR’s Wildlife Conservation Section.” at todd.schneider@dnr.ga.gov. If you find sick or dead birds, do not touch them with your hands.
