Excerpt from Avian Botulism
Losses vary from year to year and from species to species. A few hundred birds may die one year at a specific location, with tens of thousands dying the following year at the same site. More than a million deaths from avian botulism have been reported in localized out breaks in a single year. Outbreaks causing losses of or more birds are fairly common.
