So far this year, more than 300 dead wild birds have been discovered in five Michigan counties. Based on preliminary test results, the Michigan DNR suspects highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu). Ongoing disease surveillance indicates that HPAI is widespread in wild bird populations throughout the state.

Leave dead wild birds alone: Carcasses should be left to naturally decompose if they are difficult to reach, and people and domestic animals will not have contact with them. A fresh carcass can spread disease, but as the animal decomposes, the virus will die.

If you must clean up, do not use your bare hands: If dead wild birds are easily accessible and pose a risk, use personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, mask, etc.) to double bag the carcasses and dispose of them through normal trash pickup.
