Didn't find the answer but here is part of an interesting article

How to donate dead birds to science

Most bird watchers have probably encountered a dead bird somewhere in their travels and wondered what (if anything) to do. Birds die for many reasons, including predation, starvation, and exposure. The most troubling deaths come from strikes against windows, radio towers, and other obstacles erected by humans.

But no matter how a bird has met its death, something good can come out of the tragedy. By donating the bird to an educational or research institution, you ensure the bird did not die in vain.


PS Birds commit suicide at our house by flying into my sunroom windows Now I know what to do with them besides throw 'em in the trash. Box 'em all up and ship 'em somewhere. Wonder what UPS would think if a box of dead birds broke open during shipping
