Small birds die from salmonella outbreak – Sveriges Radio

Lotta Berg is a veterinarian and bird watchers believe that the cause is salmonella outbreak among the small birds which are common this time of year.

– It is often during late winter as seen outbreaks of salmonella in small birds. The birds are a bit reduced, there have been winter and they are not really on top in terms of resistance and then you can get outbreaks, says Lotta Berg is a veterinarian and bird watchers.

The canon is a common where guest at the bird feeders in the winter and it is on the ground under bird feeders that salmonella can spread through the feces of infected birds and the seeds collected on the ground and the birds eat, says Lotta Berg veterinarian.

is there an unusual number of deaths of small birds this year?

I have received information that there will be a little bit more than usual this year and that it is unusual amount of salmonella among small birds. It is perhaps above all, in that it is an unusual number of cases of salmonella in cats. For the fact is that when these birds are really bad and sitting still, they become very easy prey for stray cats and then there is a great risk that the cat who eats this bird gets salmonella and becomes poor, says Lotta Berg is a veterinarian .
