Good advice. I gave up owning chickens due to the avian flu.

Although we happily saw swans, we saw no geese or ducks. We spoke with two sets of locals who told us that about a week or so ago there was a big die=off of waterfowl due to the avian flu. A Fish and Wildlife biologist was called and went down to check. All the birds in a pond were dead, or too weak to react; one died after taking flight.
This is the most extreme incident of bird flu I have personally come across.
