Take Down Your Birdfeeders

A highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) – or especially severe bird flu – is causing sickness among both domestic and wild birds across the United States. So the Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota sent a tweet on April 19, 2022, recommending that people in U.S. states with HPAI take down their bird feeders and bird baths for a couple of months this spring, to help decrease the spread of this virus.
