To date, most cases of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) are being seen in domestic poultry flocks, eagles, and waterfowl, not songbirds. At this time, no recommendations have been made to remove feeders or prohibit feeding of wild birds in Georgia.
Any recommendation to take down feeders and discontinue feeding wild birds would come from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and we will share that information with our members and followers IF a recommendation is released. Promptly report high numbers (defined as four or more) of dead or sick wild birds to DNR by calling 1-800-366-2661 or report online at https://georgiawildlife.com/report-dead-birds

Based on our most recent information, the bird flu outbreak has not affected songbirds, though waterfowl and some raptors have been affected. Please keep an eye on your feeders and remove the feeders and report any sick birds (4 or more) that you see to DNR at the link in the blog post above. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
