[SBB] Dead bird question

["Kendric C. Smith" <[[email protected]]>]

We have 3 fledgling Cal Towhees in our inner court, where they can't 
fly out until they really get to be good fliers.

We just found one dead, and one is alive.  I did not look hard to 
find the third.

I have double bagged the dead bird, and put it in the freezer.

There are a lot of reasons for why a baby bird might die, one is that 
the parents suddenly are not as attentive as before.  Maybe something 
has happened to Mommy.

Should I try to find some worms for them, and what kind?

Maybe we should capture the babies, and put them out in front yard in 
the bushes where the adults (and everything else) can get at them.

The third concern is West Nile Virus.  Do you think this is a 
possibility, and if so, to whom should I take the dead bird?

Your advice would be appreciated.
