The Center for Disease Control and Prevention says the public risk for HPAI is low, but it is still possible for humans to contract the virus. Notably, people who have close contact with infected animals and their environment.
“Members of the public should avoid contact with sick waterfowl and other sick wildlife whenever possible. However, if it is necessary to remove a carcass, safely dispose of it by wearing a mask and disposable gloves to double bag any carcasses and place them in a secure trash container. Wash hands immediately after with soap and warm water. Alternatively, a wildlife control operator can be hired to remove carcasses.”
If you find sick or dead wild birds, the DNR says to report them at on.in.gov/sick wildlife.
