A strain of bird flu only 14 miles away from mehttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4949026.stm
I have e-mailed my local paper suggesting that it is a good time to reassure people that they won't catch bird flu from pigeons, might be a good idea for other uK members to e-mail the local and national press. Cynthia

At this rate, chickens are going to be wiped out, with who knows what other birds!

This is indeed distressing news Cynthia. I am so sorry.
I know you are armed with the latest documentation regarding pigeons not suspected of being carriers, but was wondering if there is anything we can do from the other side of the pond? Please keep us posted. Cindy

I'm so sorry this is happening at all but certainly very concerned that it is so close to you. Let's hope it ends with the sacrifice of all those poor chickens.

Cynthia, I'm also sorry to hear you're on the front lines, so to speak. On the other hand, you are well placed to help defuse public panic over this. But I'm sure you're worried about your babies, as I would be.
