Bird Flu
Bird flu usually does not make wild birds sick, but can make
domesticated birds very sick and kill them. Bird flu does not usually
infect humans; however, several instances of human infections and
outbreaks have been reported since 1997. When such infections occur,
public health authorities monitor the situation closely because of
concerns about the potential for more widespread infection in the human
population.
