I'll be buggered if i'm gonna read the Avian Flu thread - 30+ pages.  I aint got the time, will, nor inclination to go wading through pages.    I had information which I thought SOME people MAY find of interest, so I put it on.  If it don;t suit, then don't read it - I'll sleep tonight no worries!

Well you hopefully noticed three things : (1) you didn't get any doom and gloom from me. (2) I was the ONLY person to answer your query AND tell it as it is. (3) there's lots of misinformation about including one that obviously gave rise to your Folkestone query.

I also appreciate it, I am another one that just does not have the time to wade through the other 30 some page thread on the bird flu. This caught my eye and brought me up to date. Thanks Mike!

Deadly H5N1 virus confirmed in a pigeon in southeastern Romania

The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu virus was confirmed in a pigeon found in an isolated part of Constanta province in southeastern Romania.

" This pigeon was found dead in a field, a few kilometres from Topraisar where bird flu was detected on February 14," the agriculture ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.

 

Hi Mike, that is just some bullshit from our newspapers. They just love this kind of news, it 'wows' the people. That "pigeon" was a collared dove(which isn't too related to our pigeons). Picture here: http://birdsofsanibel.free.fr/images/20040411/Eurasian%20Collared%20Dove.jpg

 

Because of that we now have to keep our pigeons locked in the lofts, and I don't know for how long.  :-/  

 

So, for now, we still don't have a clear confirmed bird flu in PIGEONS, and I hope it will remain this way.
