Is there an indication of which species of birds can catch/spread bird flu
?
I assume that the attention to poultry/fowl is that they are more likely
to
enter the food chain.
Should I be worried if I come into contact with faeces of any kind of bird
or just poultry/fowl ?
For example on trips to the Farne Islands I've been well and truly
contaminated with Tern poo. Sitting in a boat under Bass Rock, it's
difficult
not to be contaminated with Gannet poo. What about seaguls ?

I reallise that at the moment, infection levels in the UK are probably
pretty
low, but as someone who seeks out wild brds, what should my concerns be ?

I jst hope it kills off all the damned pidgeons, and hopefully, will mutate
to the tree rats as well.
