Pick up the carcass and wrap it in a plastic bag. Also, pick up all the waste, feathers, and nesting materials and seal them in the plastic bag. If you don’t want to use your hands to pick up the carcass and waste materials, you can make use of a shovel and other tools.

When disposing of the carcass, you should put it in a well-shut trash container to prevent other predators, pets, or even curious kids from gaining access to it.

Better still, you may contact your local wildlife authority to ask about the approved bird disposal methods in your district. Avoid leaving the carcass on a compost heap or brush pile as it would attract other animals.
