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.

CFIA Avian Flu Tracker Note: the factory farms are shown as stars and the wild birds are shown as circles

Note: Couriers are much slower than usual this season. They are backed up so much that they only pick up 3 days per week and many packages are sitting in trailers at their facilities for a while before getting processed. They are all working overtime and weekends to try to catch up.
Seed news:
- Black oil sunflower is in high demand worldwide for bird seed and oil purposes due to a poor crop in Europe. Farmers are holding inventory hoping for higher prices and processors are weeks behind in packaging due to demand. Be careful with your stock and dont sell off to other stores.
- Striped sunflower is in high demand from the confectionary market so supply is tight and some offerings are poorer than we wish.
- White millet had a smaller crop so supply will be tight for the entire year. Otherwise new crop looks good. We have secured some European millet so supply will be safe.
Both Woodlink and Perky Pet/Woodstream/Yule Hyde are offering a number of new products. Supplies will be available spratically. Check our new products page as they arrive. There are some great new items!
