Answer 2

Well just leave it alone. If it's right in front of your house or something pick it up with a shovel and throw it away. If it looks like someone you knows pet, tell them. Don't call animal control or the police it's just a dead bird it happens all the time and you don't want to bother them with that when there are much bigger problems.

Answer 3

With outbreaks of West Nile Virus and Avian (Bird) Flu, it may be best to:

---Call the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), toll free at 1-866-537-2473 to report the sighting. By mapping dead birds, the USDA researchers hope to gain additional knowledge about the relationship between dead birds in an area and the likelihood of human cases in that area.

---Check with with your local or state health department for instructions on reporting and diposing of a dead bird. If you need to pick up a dead bird, or local authorities tell you to simply dispose of it: Avoid bare-handed contact with any dead animals, and use gloves or an inverted plastic bag to place the bird carcass in a garbage bag and dispose of it with your routine trash.
