While the risk to humans is low, caution should always be taken when handling wild birds and mammals to reduce the potential for exposure to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).
What you should know. 
All bird species can carry avian influenza viruses, including waterfowl, shorebirds, raptors, crows and ravens. Mammals can also be infected. It’s still safe to hunt, handle, and eat healthy game.
Make sure to follow the Public Health Agency of Canada guidelines when handling wildlife. 
Humans and pets should avoid contact with sick or dead wildlife. If handling sick or dead wildlife is unavoidable, ensure you know and follow the recommended safety guidelines.
