Symptoms in birds include convulsions, tremors, head tilt, wing droop, and paralysis. Huron County residents are urged to report all dead Crows and Blue Jays from now until the first of October. These species are particularly sensitive to West Nile Virus and are the only ones that may be picked up by the Health Unit for testing. Report dead Crows and Blue Jays to the Huron County Health Unit at 519-482-3416 Ext. 2001, or if calling long distance, 1-877-837-6143 Ext. 2001. Large birds of other species found dead or when several smaller birds die in one spot may warrant testing for avian influenza. This is not done through the Health Unit. Please call the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre at 1-866-673-4781 to inquire about avian influenza testing. Dead birds not being picked up should be discarded in the following manner: • using gloves or a shovel, double bag the bird in plastic bags • do not touch dead birds with bare hands; • place the bagged bird out with regular household garbage; and • wash hands thoroughly. To find out more, visit www.huroncounty.ca or call the Huron County Health Unit at 519- 482-3416 Ext. 2001 or if calling long distance, dial 1-877-837-6143 Ext. 2001.
