Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), Bird Flu Outbreak Being Monitored Throughout the State-Report Sick or Dead Birds Using the Wild Bird Disease Reporting Form
Middlesex County has issued a more comprehensive report and guidelines on this outbreak. You can find the report on the township website under the Board of Health or click the link.
If you observe sick or dead birds, particularly in groups of five or more, please report your findings using the Wild Bird Disease reporting form: click here.
Typical signs of HPAI include diarrhea, discharge from the nose, coughing, sneezing, and incoordination, but some birds may show no signs before death. While HPAI can infect humans, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declared that the ongoing HPAI outbreak is primarily an animal health issue that poses low risk to the health of the general public.
