or in to it??

north east of what??

things look all to unsure for anyone at the moment, it looks like we have to play it a day at a time, as things can change so quickly

my feelings are, that its a day at a time,at the moment, as things can change ,so quickly

my opinion is that during next week , well all have a better picture [that doesnt mean a better situation] but i hope so.

hope so hyacinth, flying rats, could be eating or comming in to contact with infected birds,, rspb should treat this as a VERY seious matter

bird of prey been found dead,,,at lab for tests..bbc news at 6 pm

two dead swans foundin glasgow,,found to be negative also

allthough this is a very serious subject, it still should not get us down too much defra are still allowing hen parties to go on :)

as square peg says, were a very small island, any fancier that is not concerned,,,,,,,should be

the two swans in glasgow have been found NOT to have avian flu

I DONT THINK SO SBELBIN, [i WOULD LIKE TO THINK SO[ BUT ITS REAL ] LETS HOPE THESE TESTS TODAY PROVE NEGATIVE

NOWS THE TIME FOR" FACT "AND NOT RUMOUR, AS THE PAPERS WILL PRINT ANYTHING,,,,,,,,,FIRST OF ALL IT HAS TO BE CONFIRMED AS THE H5N1 VIRUS, WHICH ,HOPEFULLY WE WILL FIND TODAY, UP TO NOW ITS ONLY CONFIRMED AS H5.

it has now emerged that the wild swan in fife was found 8 days ago. t/tx bbc 1 one of the interviewees,last night on tv said the bird was in a partly decomposed state

THANKS FOR THE THANKS, THATS THE BEST OF THIS FORUM WE CAN GIVE TIPS AND RECEIVE TIPS, IVE LEARNED MORE ON THIS FORUM THAN I HAVE IN THE LAST 50 YEARS,,,GOOD LUCK TO ALL

BACK TO YOUR POST TAMMY, WE KNOW THAT HAWKS AND FALCONS CAN CONTRACT AVIAN FLU, NOW AFTER THIS SWAN BEING FOUND IN FIFE WITH SUSPECTED BIRD FLU, THIS SWAN WAS FOUND PARTLY DECOMPOSED, I SHOULD IMAGINE THERE WOULD BE TIME FOR MANY PREDATORS TO GET A SHARE, SO JUST MAYBE ONE OF THEM COULD BE A VICTIM, WHAT HAPPENS THEN???

I AGREE WITH YOU ROSE , TRAINING OLD BIRDS AGAINST THE WIND MAKES THEM WORK, HARDENS THEM UP FOR THE LONG ONES

WE HAVE TO ADHERE TO THE RULES ,IF ITS POSITIVE , AND WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO KEEP OUR BIRDS IN, BUT ARE THE RSPB CATCHING THEIR RUNG PERIGRINES , WHICH THEVE HAVE LET OUT, AND KEEPING THEM INDOORS, OR DOES THAT NOT MATTER ???

FIFER, I AGREE WHAT YOUR SAYING, THIS WAS A PARTLY DECOMPOSED BODY OF A SWAN, THAT MUST HAVE LAY FOR AT LEAST A WEEK, NOW IN THIS TIME, IM QUITE SURE ,YOU WOULD GET ALL SORTS OF HAWKS,CROWS AND BUZZARDS, NOT TO MENTION CATS ,STOATS WEASELS ETC, IN FACT THESE COULD BE THE WORST CARIERS.,,, THIS IS THE TIME TO STOP THE RSPB FREEING THESE HAWKS, TO BREED AND FEED ON BIRDS LIKE THIS, AND MAKE MATTERS WORSE BY SPREADING IT, THEY SHOULD BE SHOT,,THE HAWKS AND THE RSPB,, THESE ARE THE BIRDS THAT ARE FLYING RATS

YES THATS RIGHT FIFER, WED BETTER PRAY THAT ITS NOT THE FULL BLOWN H5NI VIRUS,, WE SHOULD FIND OUT TOMORROW, THERE WILL BE MORE ON THE NEWS TONIGHT

YES WESTY ,THATS MY BROTHER WE USED TO RACE AGAINST EACH OTHER, HES NOW ONE OF THE TOP CANARY BREEDERS AND SHOWERS

;D ;D LOVELY LEGS ROSE,,,,,,,THEIR STILL THE SAME THICKNESS NOW ;D ;D ;D

LETS HOPE THESE RESULTS TOMORROW PROVE NEGATIVE FOR THE H5N1
