Despite Predictions, Migrating Birds Didn't Carry Deadly Flu

EU Chickens Is this the end of the bird flu scare? Who knows? But it does bode well for us poor chicken farmers in the American Midwest: if migrating birds can't carry it from Africa to Europe, it's probably a safe bet that they can't get it from Asia to the contential US, either. At least let's hope so ...

Health officials feared the disease would spread to Africa during the winter migration then return to Europe with a vengeance.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
