    what should i do? i think it's a sparrow anyways. thought about calling CDC for West Nile Disease, but it's not on the list of birds. do i just put in a plastic bag and dumb in garbage? are there anything i should be aware of?

    i think getting cdc involved is a little overdramatic.

    call health and human services and make sure that dont need it. My mom was an epidemiologist and talked about this all the time. Just take the extra few minutes and make sure

    oh well, i just double bagged it and put in garbage in the garage. i checked the CDC website and they specifically said only crows, ravens, blue jays. so i think it's okay. i just over reacted. :D

    Do you have a gas mask and the ability to seal all of your windows with duct tape?

    Dead sparrows are nothing to worry about.

    Live cats, on ther other hand, must be trapped immediately so they don't piss on your grill.

    Does it look like an outside cat killed the bird? If so, you might want to bump the cat thread...

    Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    I suggest you to seal off all perimeters, and the area must be quarantined immediately. Do not call CDC, call the CIA, have them contact the armed forces to set a barricade at the end of each blocks on your street. Stay near the phone, the President of the United States will be getting in touch with you about his executive orders.
