Virus affects Eurasian collared doves

Almost every year, a virus that affects Eurasian collared doves resurfaces in Arizona. The virus does not threaten human health and affects only this non-native dove species. As a result, you may find dead Eurasian doves on your property. Please dispose of them by wrapping them and putting them in the trash. Do not bury them.

To help stop the virus from spreading, please clean your bird feeder and bird bath regularly.

also avian botulism, which mostly affects water fowl, but doves do drink at ponds and lakes
