Valerie.
The best way that we can help is to ensure that any bird feeders we use are regularly disinfected (which is good practice at the best of times) and that any unwell / dead birds we discover are reported so that the government officials can track and monitor the diseases spread.
Thank you for the information. Will keep an eye out and hope for the best.
