What birds are being tested?
Waterfowl, such as ducks and geese, are a top priority to be tested. The vast majority of backyard birds—robins, sparrows, pigeons, cardinals, etc. — do not need to be reported or tested. Avian influenza usually involves migratory waterfowl, not backyard birds. If you are concerned about dead waterfowl in your area, contact your regional Department of Environmental Conservation office.
