#3 Perhapsthe most known outbreak of H5N8 occurred in Ireland in 1983. Poultry on two farms showed the usual symptoms, plus diarrhea, nervousness, and depression. Poultry farms within close proximity soon began to show signs of infection, as well, but no contact between the farms could be established. In the end, 8,000 turkeys, 28,020 chickens, and 270,000 ducks were culled.

Wikipedia Looking at all the outbreaks, it looks like the bird flu flies all over, whenever it wants. Aerosol, or droppings, I wonder?

#4 Aerosol, or droppings, I wonder?

I’ve read that often the source of infection is wild birds, Bobby
