Avian Flu Update
- The Canadian government is suggesting that it is fine to feed the birds unless you live near a factory poultry farm or are close to a known outbreak. Most of the outbreak is located in factory farms with thousands of bird housed in cramped facilities.
- Avian Influenza does not affect all bird species in the same way; while it can cause severe illness and death in domestic poultry flocks, it is currently not considered a disease threat to feeder birds.
- Interestingly, very few of infected the birds are "feeder birds"
- Consumers should clean their feeders regularly with a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water or 10% chlorine bleach solution (rinse thouroughly after cleaning).
- See the link below for the flu tracker.
