Re: [mou-net] Avian Flu
Corvids are susceptible - and Blue Jays, Crows, Ravens and magpies are corvids. We normally get jays at our feeders. I have heard that some unmentioned songbirds are susceptible. I’d say stay tuned in and use good common sense. I know the U of M Raptor Center is getting owls, Red-tailed Hawks, and more species brought in. They will test them for bird flu. It takes 3-4 days to get results. We have no waterfowl on our property - so no ducks, etc to worry about. With warmer weather it may die down - for now.

Re: [mou-net] Avian Flu
There are many good sources for information including USDA, DNR, Cornell Lab, National Audubon. I’ve seen only one expert advise taking down feeders for songbirds.

I believe Hummingbird and Oriole feeders are fine. Probably best not to fill songbird feeders until the end of May. Good time to give them a good cleaning.

[mou-net] Avian Flu
Is the Avian Flu still plaguing migrating songbirds, raptors and waterfowl? Does MOU have a recommendation for residents regarding filling feeders or leaving them empty? I’ve hesitated putting out hummer feeders for fear of birds getting sick. Any advice? Thanks!

I understand that we’re supposed to notify the DNR when we find dead birds like this. Did anyone else hear that?

[mou-net] Avian Flu - Geese??
I just walked around our local City Park, home to about a 150 resident geese, and found four dead, and one almost dead, none of apparent cause. Usually I only see an occasional dead one during hunting season, so assuming this is the Avian Flu. Anyone know if DNR or others are testing these dead birds?
