Avian Flu
. .
1st Rule Do
not panic to catch it
you need not only to
have flu but to ingest
infected liquids from a
bird at the infectious
stage so unless into
very odd practices we
all have more chance of
winning the lottery. The
meat ; eggs etc pose no
threat in the UK . . .it
is blood etc that
transmits it to humans
and 5 species including
cats and pigs.
2nd Rule
Muscovies are the
sentinel birds with NO
resistance so one sudden
death .. . bag in a poly
bag/sack . . if a second
follows within a few
days ring the Government
vet at DEFRA asap. Bag
also without handling .
. wash scrub etc they
prefer to check earlier
rather than later. Do
NOT take to local vet
any carcases .Other
breeds if a sudden loss
of weight and
unexplained death of
more than one bird check
especailly if in
migratory flight path
areas ( east coast
mainly)
3rd Rule . .
look to Biosecurity mend
pens;houses in case it
moves near you ie
Springcleaning before
DEFRA call and
complain.Be aware
