INDIANAPOLIS (AP) â Indiana officials are asking people to take down bird feeders as they try to determine an unexplained increase in sick and dying songbirds.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has counted 285 ill or dead birds since May.
The Indianapolis Star reports that officials arenât sure whatâs causing the birds to become ill, including eye swelling, crusty discharge and neurological issues.
Early tests determined the birds did not have avian flu or West Nile virus. Birds that have been affected include blue jays, American robins and Northern cardinals.
