So DNR in my state wants to "socially distance"
birds by having everyone remove their bird
feeders. I shit you not. Apparently there are more
sick birds than usual.
Some suspect pesticides. Some wonder if it's
the cicadas. One based neighbor asked if DNR
is going to ask everyone to knit tiny birds masks
for all the birds.

"As a precaution, DNR is now asking that all Hoosiers remove their bird feeders.
The birds —which have been found in 15 counties, including Marion, Hamilton and Johnson counties — showed eye swelling, crusty discharge and neurological signs of illness."
