Birds ?????

[labrax]

Have had this happen in the past and what Nebe says works - there are stickers that you can put on your windows - think some of them look like spider webs too - so that the birds recognize there is something there and don't do an evil kneveil into the glass. Unless you are in a remote area - I am sure you are not alone in the use of lawn chemicals, so I wouldn't draw the cause and effect relationship with your use of lawn fertilizer this year. As far as contacting animal control or health department regarding bird flu tie-in. The robins and the cardinals are not long range migrants and i doubt they would have been tainted with this flu. Plus, we are not on the right migration flyway for birds that may have it in Asia.

as i said in another post... one way the bird flu might enter america
is via a smuggled in bird....stuffed in a tube with a bunch of other stuffed in tubes (sleep induced) birds in a car coming over the border.

the thing to worry about is.. when the first person (in america) contracts the disease ....how much exposure to the general public happens before it's discovered. The C.D.C. better be hoppin like bunnies
when that day arrives.
