Swine flu + birds????

Hi everyone.

Now i know im probably just being far too worried about things.

Basically i am being tested for swine flu, and i have 2 cockatiels and a lovebird. Its not confirmed whether i have it or not, but i am worried about my birds! As i know the swine flu strain its too different from the bird flu.

Are my birds at ANY risk at all if it turns out that i do infact have swine flu, which i only have a 25% chance of having it anyway!

Swine flu can only go from human to human contact! Animal's can't get it!
