Bird flu - should you take down your feeders?

>From article on Cornell Lab of Ornithology website:

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/news/avian-influenza-outbreak-should-you-take-down-your-birdfeeders/
There has been widespread transmission of avian flu to wild bird species including waterfowl and raptors. However, there have been relatively few documented cases of HPAI in songbirds and other typical feeder visitors to date. That means there is currently a low risk of an outbreak among wild songbirds, and no official recommendation to take down feeders
