I am an avid bicyclist and as such see a lot of the debris that gets swept to the side of the road by traffic. In the last few months, I have seen something I have never encounter before...dead birds. Just yesterday, I saw two dead doves.

I am not saying this is the result of bird flu, but I do think it is odd.

I have not had any reports of 'dead' birds lately. At least not since West Nile swept through a couple years ago...

Please Freepmail me with your general location. THX

I find several dead birds, mostly doves, in my yard during the year. Power line shock I believe, since most of them are dead at the foot of the light pole............

You may be one of the first to confirm evidence that birds are not immortal. Did you save and tag the evidence for further study? I hope you logged the exact position, time, and temperature in your notebook.

I have been seeing dead Armadillos this summer on roadsides in Texas....and yet....also seeing dead deer during the peak of their rut season. It is shocking, indeed.

A lot of my friends back home (eastern and central Nebraska) are avid goose and duck hunters. The state has asked that every hunter be on the look out for massive bird deaths in the migrating goose population. So far, nothing out of the ordinary.

Where are you located?

Could it be birds hit by cars...or dying naturally?

[Ditter]

I don't think it is unusual for birds to be hit by cars. I have picked several dead birds out of the front of my cars over the years. If they died of an illness I can't see any reason they would die on the road side, most likely they would die in the bushes.
