    I know years ago, there was interest in reporting/cleaning up suspiciously dead birds too. Not sure what the current direction on that is now.

    What exactly makes a dead bird sus?

      Corvids like Crows, ravens, and magpies/jays are very susceptible to West Nile virus and are often indicators that the virus may be spreading in an area. If you find a dead Corvid you should report it so that the corpse can be tested to see if it died due to the virus.
