My mother died of West Nile virus in 2003.

Oh, how awful. I am so sorry.

You should have been warned beforehand to keep your pets in the house.

Do not touch the birds -- they are full of poison. Make sure you wear gloves to pick up the dead birds.

Dispose of them in a sealed plastic bag and place them in an outside trash receptacle.

They weren't dead...they were drunk on mulberries and all finally flew away.

But thanks for the advice!

that's what I asked you...........if you were sure they weren't drunk..........................raven

I didn't hook them up to a breathalyzer...or even poke them. When birds are on their backs with their legs up in the air....they look dead to me! They were robins...I couldn't figure out how to do CPR.

I assumed yesterday that the groundskeeper had picked them up and thrown them out (or called to have them tested).

LOL thanks for the laugh! I've been having a rough day but that definitely took me out of it.

Weird... you should contact animal control. They say birds fly themselves into homes when there is a possession... but I doubt that is your trouble.

Some posters may disagree with you...but they were too polite to point it out!
