Description
Canadian Food Inspection Agency has a notification published on July 7th 2016 that H5 Avian Influenza has been found on a duck farm near St. Catherines.
Quarantine of that farm and the area are in place.

Read the full announcement here: http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=1095909
and here: http://www.agcanada.com/daily/ontario-d ... -avian-flu

We would like to remind everyone of proper bio-safety procedures when:

• buying/selling/transporting birds
• handling your own birds
• visiting fellow bird enthusiasts

Also to keep records of your bird sales/purchases as well as travel routes.

We hope that the duck farmer can make it through the tough time and that the CFIA was a step ahead and able to quarantine in time before it can spread.

Be vigilant!

Just wondering , I thought waterfowl carried it but didn't die from it ? Anybody know how they discovered it . Luck

but I think the key is in this paragraph:
"Where high-path strains of avian flu lead to severe symptoms and deaths among affected birds, low-path strains cause few symptoms — such as mild respiratory effects, reduced egg production and ruffled feathers — if any."
