My worry would be knowing what the bird died of, since you'll never know a call to the vet would be a smart call to make and ask.

A dog could possibly get worms from eating dead critters.

TonyaLJ- The OP said the dog ate a wild bird that was alreay dead when the dog found it. It did not kill a domestic bird, than eat it.

That is why we are saying that it might get sick.

Animals, what animals? My children just have alot of hair!

I live on a farm and between my bf and his family and me, we have 8 dogs to our 500 acres. they eat wild birds and rabbits all the time and have yet to die from anything. Just make sure your beloved pet is up on their shots.

I will have children when they act as well as my dogs..

I think LPN does bring up a valid concern...but I think the risk is small. My dog found a dead seal on the beach that got hit by a shark or something...she at like 4 lbs of meat off it before I could stop her.

I believe a dog's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment he holds dear, is when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-with a ball in his mouth."

True, very small chance, but with all the weird morphed illnesses going around these days, can never be too careful.
While I do not know that i would go off racing to the vet, i would have definitely kept an eye on him and watch for any signs of illness.

Mine have caught them alive and ate them (wild birds) and no harm, but dead from what would be the reason for me to pay close mind.
