Many people feed their birds but don't know exactly who is coming to their feeder. This is a good time to find out who these birds are.
Patients coming out panic stricken are spreading the contamination. They're gonna run. They're scared and hurt and want to get away.
You don't have to actively watch anything. Just look outside to your feeder once a day. Most folks know when (birds) hit the feeders hard.
All these agencies have carefully written plans. So we need to give them the chance to practice it, to see what works and what doesn't.
