Hi Ed and everyone,



You might want to check with neighbors near you and see if anyone has treated a water feature or fountain lately, in the event it is not a natural illness.? Our next door neighbor used algicide in his fountain several years ago and several crows died - he asked me if I knew what was going on and I was suspicious of his fountain.? The store he went to sold him the algicide and told him not to worry that it was 'safe for animals'.? He took them at their word.? He brought me the bottle and behind one of those stick-on labels that you have to pull off to get 'additional info' was the comment "This product is toxic to birds."? Unfortunately he found out the hard way.?

There is a Crow in our back yard that is definately sick or injured.? It was sitting on our birdbath for a while and is now just sitting on the ground not moving around much.? I don't really want to get near it because of the bird flu scare.? What should I do??? Where do I report such a thing?? I have heard that sick or dead birds especially Crows should be reported and tested.
