USDA, in cooperation with States, has begun a campaign to promote avian health by encouraging bird owners “to report sick or suspicious birds to your veterinarian, and/or extension agent and to practice good biosecurity.” An outbreak of a bird disease such as Exotic Newcastle Disease or Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza could not only harm your birds, it could kill other nearby birds and quickly spread through your flock.
