hey guys,
i know this isnt really a concern at the minute but we've just found out that a parrot that died in quarantine had the bird flu, but its not clear if its the H5N1 virus thats deadly to us
just eltting everyone know, it isnt a thing in the UK here rly because the bird was brought in in quarantine, and died in quarantine. but until now it was only thought to have begun in asia and spread west to europe.
this bird was brought into the UK in september from SOUTH AMERICA!!! (however it was quarantined with birds from taiwan so that may be the origin!!)
