Yeah it wasn’t pretty in california. They just come in a kill all your birds.

So far it's one wild bird. A very big deal though, for everyone with a flock.

Yep, they just come in and slaughter your birds. They also did not do it in a humane manner.

So I am freaking out right now. Thank you for the heads up. I wonder if there's anything I can do to keep my flocks safe? I've got a lot of reading to do.

I can't find it. I found African Swine Disease and Mad Cow announcement for other countries though. But I found this elsewhere, https://www.wyff4.com/article/wild-bird-sc-confirmed-bird-disease-detected-hunters/38773931#
