Did you find a dead bird in your yard? Did your pet bird die? Whatever the situation may be, you want to bury a dead bird. To offer this bird a proper burial, you will need to follow the steps below. They will guide you through the burial of the bird.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Decide what size box you will need based on the size of the bird. Shoeboxes, checkbook boxes, and cereal boxes have all been used.

  2. Step 2

    Find a place where you would like the bird to be buried. Some families choose a spot they like in their own back yard, like next to a blooming bush, or under a very shady tree.

  3. Step 3

    Place the bird in the designated box. Make certain the bird is not being squashed at all in the box.

  4. Step 4

    Dig a hole at least 2 feet deep and wide enough for the box to fit level in.

  5. Step 5

    Cover the hole back up with the dirt and smooth it out. If this was a pet of the family, you and other members of the family may want to speak some words about the bird.

  6. Step 6

    Add a marker of some kind to the gravesite. This could be something as simple as a large stone, or a small bird monument. This will make certain that the gravesite is never disturbed and is easily recognized.
