The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is still trying to figure out what killed so many of Indiana’s songbirds in 2021.
A mystery disease found in songbirds — including the American Robin, Blue Jay, Common Grackle, and European Starling — was causing eye discharge, tremors and disorientation, an inability to fly, and death.
The cause of it is still unknown.
Overall, Indiana DNR received more than 700 reports of dead birds in 76 of Indiana’s 92 counties.
