Newcastle's Disease by Michael

Newcastle's Disease is a disease that kills birds. Wild birds, like falcons, are more likely to get this sickness because they live out in the wild. When a bird gets the illness it causes them to have weakness in their muscles and body parts. The ailment can even paralyze the bird. This is a sickness that is harmful to all birds because it can spread from bird to bird every second!

     Ways you can help falcons from getting this disease is by not touching falcon eggs or doing anything like messing around with their nests or you will spread diseases to them like this. It is very important to protect wildlife because of the diseases the birds are catching. If we don't help falcons they could get wiped out!
