Yikes, my sympathies to the fanciers trying to deal with this. Same virus that causes Newcastle disease in chickens?

Awful. Let's hope it doesn't spread further. Luck guys.

Oh that's too bad, good luck to those with pigeons.

Post by **thegawd** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 8:31 pm

has it spread to other poultry? this sounds very serious.

I can't really see the post but that's sad if people are losing that many. I guess the wild ones will carry the disease everywhere.

Also spreads thru shows , buy-sell-trades , loft tours etc . Luck

As I understand it , this virus does not affect poultry other than they can carry the virus ... Vaccination is the key to controlling this virus...
I got word last night that the CPFA National " Canadian Pigeon Fanciers Association " National meet being held in Sarnia Next month has been canceled due to this issue. It was the right thing to do IMO.... The Poultry show is a go but no pigeons will be allowed to show at either the National or the club meet in Sarnia ..
