People care enough to tweet about the birds dying, just not enough to follow us to learn more! damn it be like that

[Francis @birdsfallsilent]

It seems brood x is the cause of this bird disorder. Not sure how widespread it is this cycle vs 2004 yet.

@mymollybloom @bayesianboy funny how the media works.....

[Francis @birdsfallsilent]

Glad to find someone on twitter speaking about this issue.

[Francis @birdsfallsilent]

@MrsMollyPrice @rh_brown Hi Molly! We have an answer for you. Since mid-May birds across the DMV have been experiencing eye crust that makes them unable to fly, and neuro issues. The cause is unknown, it's spread from Maine to Ohio. Most birds die, blue jays get hit hardest. We post the latest

[AWLA Alexandria @AlexAnimals]

Beginning in mid-May, we have been receiving an increase in the number of calls regarding sick and/or injured juvenile birds, specifically grackles and blue jays. Eye issues were reported in what otherwise looked like healthy juvenile birds...

@ZoraSuleman @PressSec @KamalaHarris @ProfRubega I found one the other day, very very sad. It called out to me when I started talking to it. A crow. Found a great rehab place and will be posting until we have a more solid answer. Most don't survive.

[Zora Suleman @ZoraSuleman]

@BRWildlifeCtr I found a crow and got it to a rehabilitator. It was pretty cognitive. Keep us updated! Thanks for the great work you do!!!

[Blue Ridge Wildlife Center @BRWildlifeCtr]

Our 1,639th patient of 2021 was a Blue Jay fledgling with eye & neurological disease. These cases have accounted for a significant portion of our intakes over the last few weeks & no diagnosis has been confirmed yet, though we (& many other facilities) have diagnostics pending.

[Francis @birdsfallsilent]

@AncientStarQ @flowmindsets also did you take it to a rehabilitator? People need to

[Francis @birdsfallsilent]

@AncientStarQ @flowmindsets hey the birds have neurological issues - most don't respond to treatment and die. All die in Ohio.

[Francis @birdsfallsilent]

Pray that the many scientists working on this issue find out what is going on!

How long till it's the chickens

[Fairfax County Parks @fairfaxparks]

The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources has recently received reports of sick and dying birds in our area. DWR is asking people to stop feeding birds for the time being. Avoid handling birds, and keep pets away from them. Get details at https://t.co/TlMR3drxWD.

[Francis @birdsfallsilent]

@Dr_A_Gallagher @Jonathan_M_Dean Tips? Find a rehabilitator or rescue. I found one yesterday. They mostly all die. Have you not heard about the mystery bid disease? Mask, gloves, and take to someone. Check my feed for more news on it....
