What we consider the 'backyard birds,' like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chickadees" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>chickadees</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/woodpeckers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>woodpeckers</span></a>, are very unlikely to contract avian influenza, so there is no need to stop feeding those birds or take down bird feeders. You should always keep your feeders clean, but this is a good time to be extra vigilant with regular cleanings and also protect yourself from exposure. Avoid contact with a sick or dead wild bird. If you do have a report of a sick or dead wild bird, call Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife at 207-287-8000 or 800-452-4664, or report it online.

Primarily, if you are going to be feeding birds, you need to also make sure that your feeders and the seeds in them are clean, generally kept dry, and are not going to be harmful to the birds. Cleaning the feeders once every two weeks is typically adequate to ensure that no bacteria is growing or to help prevent disease from spreading, but this will vary. If it is warm or wet, you’ll want to clean more often, or if you are seeing a sick bird at the feeder, like one with avian conjunctivitis, then you’ll want to clean the feeder and maybe pause feeding for a week or two."</p><p>Read more:<br /><a href="https://www.centralmaine.com/2024/12/21/here-are-some-tips-if-you-decide-to-put-out-a-bird-feeder/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">centralmaine.com/2024/12/21/he</span><span class="invisible">re-are-some-tips-if-you-decide-to-put-out-a-bird-feeder/</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br /><a href="https://archive.md/cWFuk#selection-1823.0-1847.11" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.md/cWFuk#selection-182</span><span class="invisible">3.0-1847.11</span></a><br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BirdFeeders" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BirdFeeders</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Birdbaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Birdbaths</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AvianInfluenza" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AvianInfluenza</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AvianFlu" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AvianFlu</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BirdFlu" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BirdFlu</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/H5N1" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>H5N1</span></a></p>
