Will a tick cause harm to a bird?

Birds often carry ticks, especially ticks that attach to the skin around the eyes, bill, and head. These areas are difficult for the bird to preen, and the ticks find a safe haven. Ticks drop off birds when the ticks are finished "feeding." There is no long term effect on the bird.
