Vigo County Health Department Collecting Dead Birds For West Nile Virus
* Wild birds serve as a host for West Nile virus.
* Mosquitoes feed on infected birds and then infect humans by biting them. * The West Nile virus also kills wild birds. * Blue jays, crows, and raptors (falcons, hawks, and owls) are highly sensitive to the virus, and therefore are the best indicators of West Nile virus activity in our community. They are the only species of birds that the Indiana State Department of Health Laboratory is testing for the virus. If you find a dead blue jay, crow, falcon, owl, or hawk please call the Vigo County Health Department at 812-462-3289. The bird needs to be freshly deceased (less than 24 hours) and must be intact and in good shape. The Vigo County Health Department will continue to collect dead birds until we have our first "positive" for West Nile Virus. Dead wild birds should not be handled with bare hands. If you do need to dispose of a dead bird, use gloves or a plastic bag over your hand to pick up the bird, double bag it, and dispose of it in the trash or call the Health Department to pick it up at 462-3289.
