With the news about avian flu in Dubios County, does this put our wild birds at risk as well?

With the news about avian flu in Dubios County, does this put our wild birds at risk as well? It very well could!! VERY SERIOUS situation. I read the same article and it seems that this H5N2 virus started in Indiana. |

The article in the Ft Wayne Journal-Gazette seemed to point to migratory birds as being responsible for the spread and wild turkeys were not infected yet.
They seemed surprised it was hapening this time of the year.

Apparently avian influenza has yet to be found in wild turkeys according to the NWTF.

This time of year would be a horrible time for them to catch it since they are flocked up

My buddy is a turkey farmer with many barns and he told me last night that nobody but his Dad and him will be at the barns for fear of it infecting their operation. They are putting up lock and gates on the drive back to the barn with warning sings not to enter. It could wipe them out fast if it infects their operation
