How do you protect you birds from birdflu?
I buy more of them when they die. Killing them because they have bird flu destroys their ability to adapt and combat that strain. Ones that don't die aren't completely immune from it, but they're pretty close.
And you’re not worried to get infected?
No? H5N1 is rarely transmissible to humans. The biggest fear is a mutation that allows human-to-human transmission.
