One of the symptoms of Clostridium is the inability of the bird to hold its head up. Waterfowl are particularly susceptible because Clostridium is often waterborne and kills by paralyzing the neck muscles so the bird drowns when it can not get its head up.

Unfortunately it is also a very rapid killer without quick intervention; often an hour or less when symptoms first appear.
