bird flu found in scotland
Big-G:
Came across this last month while at sea working in the caspian sea (12 cases in azerbaijan when i came on leave) It basically is passed on through the entrails and blood. to be sure though if you have to handle dead birds use latex gloves or bags on your hands, double bag the bird and dispose of all te gloves you use to handle the birdin the second bag as well.
Dont take any chances, it has already transfered to cats as well, so like me if you have out door cats and they bring birds in as a present! Be very careful

That didn't stop some people. A true story from foot and mouth, a farmer found a dog walker in the middle of a field, when asked what they were doing, the replie was theres a foot path ban at the moment so i'm walking on the fields instead.

--- Quote from: "borders" ---Found a dead bird a couple of weeks ago outside the front of the house, I honestly thought it had flown into a power cable and broke its neck, didnt consider bird flu. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more as it was a crow and theyre hanging around in large flocks at the moment.
Redlinemike had best be careful, he lives in fife.

Would it be worth giving DEFRA a call? if you just bined the body then no point but if its beeen burried then they may want a look at it

Been out looking where i nudged it with my foot off the drive & into the paddock, its gone......weve got lots of stoats/foxes etc, something has dragged it off. Dead things dont lay around for very long where we are.
