And just when beef was allowed back into europe!

There was an item one of the farming programmes a couple of months ago about a guy who had been a cow farmer when MCD hit the headlines, changed to pig farming just as FAM took hold, now guess what...............?

A swan found dead in Scotland has tested positive for the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu.
The bird, tested at the EU's bird flu laboratory in Surrey, is the UK's first case of H5N1 in a wild bird.

Go on, tell me! All I can think of is "legend" from Smiley's Peeps which I know is not what you're talking about!

"chicken feed" - the Witchcraft product - as opposed to what was being passed back to source "Merlin" - the "crown jewels" !

BBC quote from Professor Oxford

You have got to get up-close and snuggly with a bird to get ill.

Edit to give yer man his proper title

MORE BIRDIE INFO

Thanks for posting the faqs, Poppy.

My main concern had been about spread of any virus through bird-poo.

I will concentrate my energies to avoiding, even more so than ever before, being dropped on. A bit of a challenge with the gull activity round here.

I hate gulls for lots and lots of reasons.

I'll have to add a further reason now.
