Bird Mortality Reporting Form
Please use this form to report dead or dying wild birds observed within the state of Rhode Island.
PLEASE NOTE: There are normal reasons for bird mortality. Finding a single dead bird may not be cause for alarm. A standard indicator for disease is observing several (5-10) dead birds over a short period of time at a single location. However, during times of certain disease outbreaks, such as Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), observing a single bird washed up on the beach is worth reporting.
The public is urged not to touch dead bird or dying birds. Keep pets and children away from dead birds and always wash hands if you contact a dead bird.
