The Pike County Health Department will be collecting dead birds from May 1-October 15. Why, you ask? The PCHD will be sending the dead birds to the Illinois Department of Public Health to be tested for West Nile Virus (WNV). Monitoring the bird and mosquito populations helps predict when and where humans will be at risk for WNV infection. The health department is looking for these most wanted birds: blue jay, crow, house sparrow, robin, and house finch. Call 217-285-4407 x 117 to get more information on what to do if you find one of the above-mentioned birds as well as what makes a bird eligible.
