Determining whether a bird died from a specific disease or another cause requires careful observation, but in many cases you’ll need lab confirmation for accuracy.

Determining whether a bird died from a specific disease or another cause requires looking for distinct physical symptoms, both while the bird is dying and through a post-mortem examination (necropsy). Generally, disease involves systemic signs like discharge and emaciation, while trauma or injury often results in visible external damage.
