Re: [cayugabirds-l] Avian Pox Virus

2019-07-18 Thread Jody Enck 
Hi All,

Regarding obviously sick wildlife, it is best to contact the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation at wildl...@dec.ny.gov and to
contact a licensed wildlife rehaber.  It is technically illegal to capture
wildlife, even to take it for treatment.  Whether you would be ticketed or
not for a violation is another issue altogether, but the best thing to do
is contact DEC and a licensed rehaber and to follow their instructions.

Take care
Jody

HI Anne Marie,

I believe it is illegal to catch and keep it, not catch it and take it for
treatment. If that were the case then every citizen who rescues a bird and
brings it to a rehabber or vet for treatment would be breaking the law,
which I do not believe is the case.

It is illegal to capture most wild birds unless under the direction of someone 
licensed to do so. I don’t know if House Finches are protected in this way, but 
it is always best to leave the capturing and/or treatment of sick or injured 
birds to the professionals. I am copying Victoria Campbell on this message. She 
is a local, licensed wildlife rehabilitator who can assist you.

Carol,

If there is any way you could catch this bird, maybe with a net, it could go to 
the Swanson Wildlife Center at the vet school. They could maybe treat him, but 
it is an advanced case and may euthanize but at least it would be out of pain.  
Poor thing.

If there is any way you could catch this bird, maybe with a net, it could
go to the Swanson Wildlife Center at the vet school. They could maybe treat

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Avian Pox Virus

2019-07-17 Thread Laura Stenzler 
Hi Carol,

 I asked my husband, Ton Schat, who is an avian immunologist working with 
chickens as well as wild birds, to answer your question. He suggests discarding 
the seed that is in the feeders and disinfecting the feeders with 10% bleach 
for 1/2 hour, then wash with plenty of soap and water. And, stop feeding so the 
infection does not continue to spread to the feeder again and to other birds.

Good luck!

Laura
