Bird flu is bad news

[Eagle2160]

Yeah I thought about this when deciding about falconry a few months ago but I havnt heard anything about it at all in the past few months so i dont think there is a HUGE chance that it will start popping up right now or anytime, because it hasnt yet

I think it may pop up here eventually, but I don't think it will be a problem for our birds other that the media panic that may make it harder for us to fly and transport our birds. Look at the UK, It's not even there in the wild yet and they have banned field meets except under special permit situations.

BIrd flu has always been present it's just the hi path outbreak got a lot of press this past year those of you hunting ducks have probably been exposing ursleves to lo path versions for years.

you underestmate the power of the media. they maded a simple contry into a demon. that contry is iran (please tell my how a contry that is threating to make nukes makes us piss our pants when we stood up to the U.S.S.R. for god knows how long) when bird flu hits, i expect for people to go crazy and grap their guns and shoot every bird that they see. even if it is on your fist.
