Have you not yet had Avian Flu in the US?

As you probably know there have been a few scares here in the UK which I believe were put down to migrating birds. This happened before I became a parrot owner so I've just had a look at the relevant govt website.

Defra, UK - Disease surveillance and control - Notifiable diseases - Avian Influenza

Doesn't look as though a cull of indoor pet birds would be a likely scenario here...

Defra, UK - Disease surveillance and control - Notifiable diseases - Avian Influenza - Advice to poultry keepers

I bloody well hope not anyway!

Certainly poultry flocks were/would be culled.
