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

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

Cynthia,
I know this is devastating news for you, and I'm sorry...but there have been more positive news stories coming out around here in regards to pigeons and the flu. I think as time passes the REAL facts are surfacing. Please let us know if we can e-mail anyone or do something else to help you.

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.
