My niece in Toronto came home to find a dead Blue jay on her deck but in a perched position but with its head hung forward. She sent it via Facebook. I have never seen anything like that where a bird has died but remained in a natural perched position. Any thoughts as to how it might have died and why it didn't fall over? There were no visible injuries that my niece could see anyway & none that I could see from the picture. She thought that maybe it could have run into something and just died while, sitting, waiting to recover.
