Dead bird bodies found where?

Dead bird bodies are typically found in areas where birds are at risk of collisions, such as near tall buildings, wind farms, and power lines, as well as in areas with high levels of pollution or pesticides. It is also common to find dead bird bodies near sources of artificial light at night, as they can become disoriented and collide with structures or windows.
