Avian Flu

Thing is fish, creatures have no political boundaries it’s highly possible that we have created this nightmare scenario through our manipulation and destruction of all that is natural. We’ve messed with nature and are possibly now reaping the consequences. Repair, rewild and rebalance may be the only answer if it’s not too late! May be we are the problem, we are the common denominator after all!

Undoubtedly but we humans have helped the spread. Gathering vast number of migrating birds in say Slimbridge and other reserves was the perfect breeding ground for the disease. Like Covid no one will admit to that. Again its "so called" interference that compounds the problems just like rewilding. Is this comment acceptable?

Good gracious, The Wash and other estuaries have massively greater influx of migrating birds than the relative few at say Slimbridge..

Also go to any beach across the UK at present and like me you will see possibly tens of thousands of knots feeding across the literal zone. All migrated here from overseas. So, in conclusion the comment is not acceptable and nor is that connection with rewilding.

Birds have been migrating to places long before reserves were set up. In fact reserves emerged to protect birds from the predation of humans. Sadly diseases can emerge from anywhere. 

Seems the disease is rampant with lots of dead birds being washed up on our shores. So much so that there are warnings out to beach goers. Seems this is the avian covid with no sign of abatement.

Your own back yard is an environmental disaster Fish, chicken farms in Wales, particularly Powys. Having a huge effect on the rivers. Money, money, money. Couple of years old this article, but …….

Caged birds dont spread the flu. How would you cope with no eggs or cheap chicken. Oh yes you buy organic bla bla bla but the majority cant afford them.

I don’t eat chicken. Mainly because I saw inside a battery farm as a teenager, and was horrified at the treatment of the poor things. The only eggs I eat are from my BIL now, I know how well his chickens are cared for. 

So how do caged birds catch it then? Wild birds getting into the caged areas and passing it on to those inside who then are transmitters themselves, spreading it among themselves and other free roaming birds.
