Dr. Nicole Lewis, the wildlife veterinarian for the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife, has collected about 30 birds, all of them hatchlings and fledglings, that have died of the affliction, but estimates that it has killed upward of 100 birds in the state. We re seeing a lot of eye swelling with the discharge around it, Lewis said of the symptoms. [The birds] kind of seem like they re blind. Or we re also seeing neurological signs, such as impacting their brains, they re stumbling and they re falling over. They re not right.
These symptoms, Lewis said, impair the birds ability to eat and fly, and eventually they die from it. Birds have been found alive with these symptoms and taken to wildlife rehabilitation centers, but none has seen the conditions improve, and most have died.
