By: Michelle Kaufman and last updated 2021-07-02 19:27:34-04 The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is continuing to try to figure out what illness is causing songbirds across the state to become sick or, in some cases, die. “We want birds to be able to socially distance naturally. When there are feeders, they’re immediately attracted to them,” Allysin Gillet, an ornithologist with Indiana DNR, said. “We need to better impose that on them so they can … feed on other things instead of the birdseed.”

Indiana sick, dying songbirds now in 53 counties; no cause known yet

Indianapolis Star No definitive cause of death has emerged so far as the culprit behind the now 285 sick and dying birds reported in Indiana, the state’s department of natural resources said Friday. Officials with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources repeated their urging for Hoosiers to bring their bird feeders inside while the department continues to investigate the unexplained uptick in sick and dying songbirds across Indiana since late May. The department sent a dozen bird samples to the Indiana Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory as part of an investigation into the affected birds, which include blue jays, American robins and Northern cardinals. The birds’ symptoms include neurological signs of illness, eye swelling and crusty discharge.
