To Report Sick or Dead Wild Birds:
Birds die for many reasons, including trauma and disease. If you encounter dead or sick wild birds, and no obvious cause is apparent, such as hitting a power line or building, call 1-866-5BRDFLU (1-866-527-3358). Before calling, please note the location (GPS coordinates are best), species of bird and the date and time found. Do not handle any sick or dead birds.
