    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.”
