Anyone know the symptoms of Bird Flu?

Post by Freeranger »

Hi - this is just a general question, so please don't worry. A breeding farm in Fife has been found to have a mild strain of bird flu, and 40k birds will have to be destroyed - very sad for chooks and owners. We (N of the Border) keep being told to be vigilant for the signs in our own birds - I have no idea what they are, and a google search reveals only the human symptoms. Anyone have any idea, please?

Hi , No idea ,but you would think the papers would pick it up and start a warning alerts etc . Maybe Defra might have the answer.
