THE deadly H5N1 bird flu virus has been detected in a chicken in Austria,
a health ministry spokeswoman said today.

It is the first time the virus has appeared in poultry in the EU.

The chicken was contaminated in an animal pound in the southern city of
Graz, where an infected swan was also being kept, spokeswoman Daniela
Retzek said today.

Me again:

Apparently sharing a cage with an infected swan. Both caged together and
commercial poultry not affeted. But this is sloppy behaviour and likely to
happen again and again...

On the same day that this loony says:

A LLANDEILO poultry breeder has moved to quash fears of a bird flu
epidemic striking the country and has insisted that he is more concerned
about the egg market than the deadly virus.
