an ounce of flu prevention is not enough
The virulent H5N1 strain of bird flu has been discovered in turkeys on a farm in Suffolk England. According to the BBC, “All birds at the affected premises - including approximately 5,000 turkeys, 1,000 ducks and 500 geese - will be slaughtered.”
Why stop at that? The entire farm should be totally burned down, at the very least. And noises annoying to birds should be broadcast all along the perimeter to prevent uninformed birds from flying into the contaminated airspace.

For that matter, why not just kill all birds and be done with bird flu all together.

Beautiful…I’m sure all the bugs are rooting for your proposal.
