The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has received reports
of sick and dead cardinals in north Florida from concerned residents who have
bird feeders. Cleaning bird feeders can decrease the potential
for spreading diseases.
If you have bird feeders, take the time to follow the guidelines to
minimize the risk of disease transmission.
If you observe dead cardinals or other dead songbirds in your yard, remove your
bird feeders for a period of at least two weeks. Report your observations to the
wild bird mortality
surveillance system.
