Walker570 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Not good news. Very difficult to contain. Heavy cull on crows and jackdaws to start with but even sparrows and starlings can carry it I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 I saw the report on swans not being well, so it is confirmed as bird flu with them as well is it? Field full of Christmas geese just down the road from me, free range. They do them every year. Big worry for them then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTaylor91 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Oddly down the canal near me I’ve found a few dead swans in the last couple of weeks, never thought anything of it but now wonder if bird flu could be the cause. I can’t remember ever coming across a dead swan let alone 3 in as many weeks. As a side note the dog rolled in a very ripe one and I have never smelt anything like it.
