A team at the Atlantic Veterinary College in P.E.I. is working to identify why large numbers of crows in Charlottetown are being found sick or dead.

Scientists with the college estimate about 200 birds have been brought in over the past several weeks, either to AVC's wildlife clinic or to the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative's pathology and microbiology lab for the Atlantic region, also located on AVC's campus.

Jones said it's not possible to examine each crow individually, but the sample selection has shown similar symptoms: abnormal gastrointestinal tracts — with disease affecting their intestines — and inflammation in other organs, such as the liver and spleen. "And that could have commercial implications. We've all heard of potato wart. So we know that diseases can affect agriculture. And then also, there's lots of diseases that can affect people as well that animals can carry."

She's among a small group of bird and animal lovers who have been collecting sick and dead crows, and monitoring what's happening in the area. The group came across almost 90 in a single day, and say they continue to find about a dozen daily.
