By filling out this questionnaire you will help us get information that we can use to evaluate the health status of garden birds across the Atlantic Provinces. If you have a bird feeder or a water bath and would like to participate, please answer the following questions. It will take you approximately 10 minutes to complete the questionnaire. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. If you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can skip it; you can also withdraw from the survey at any point.
