Fern Davies Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Google should yield ample information. For instance: https://www.nj.com/news/2022/04/bird-flu-outbreak-experts-warn-to-stop-filling-bird-feeders-now.html https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2022/04/20/bird-flu-feeders-michigan-dnr-avian-2022/7382441001/ https://maineaudubon.org/news/avian-flu-in-maine/ https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/Should-bird-feeders-be-taken-down-to-prevent-the-spread-of-diseases-such-as-bird-flu https://www.birdscanada.org/help-respond-to-the-avian-influenza-outbreak-in-atlantic-canada/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested in any research that might be out there in our community or relevant observations during ongoing research. I had been unable to find current literature.

It can and does result in disease transmission. So err on the side of caution. The birds come first. Take the feeders down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
