    Not now, bird flu!

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-60631382

    People are being advised to avoid touching or feeding birds at a city park after several have died with suspected bird flu.

    The ambiguous report: "People are being advised to avoid touching or feeding birds at a city park (Roath) after several have died with suspected bird flu."

    Mrs Cyclops has just returned from a visit to Roath Park after feeding the ducks/swans. She touches them. I began reading this report aloud. She ran around a bit and then collapsed. It was only after she revived a little that I was able to reassure her that it was the birds which had died with suspected bird flu and not 'people'

    Been around a while now. Hopefully it's 30 seagulls or pigeons but I doubt it.
    Since this week you can't buy free range eggs as no birds have been kept outside.

    Apparently a dead goose tested positive for it last month. Surely if one had tested positive, they'd have had a ganders at the other geese?

    Did it have underlying health problems?

    Don't get suckered in with these avian plandemics!

    It's all part of an evil masterplan for world domination!

    Get ready for the Great Goose Reset.

    Anybody feeding those birds should be up before the beak.

    If a bird tested positive more than 28 days before it died, is that still included in the stats?

    We’re any of the avians in care facilities at the time they died

    Two jabs and a rooster will sort it out.

    too many gems to acknowledge individually so it's a group from me. You'd have got £10 a pop when Readers Digest was in its heyday!

    I walk around the lake regularly and, whilst there are signs up, people are still feeding the wildfowl.There appear to be so few staff there that any sort of enforcement is not possible. The only staff I've seen there recently are giving the pedalos a lick of paint prior to the opening of the Boatstage. A couple of weeks ago I saw a Ranger pulling a dead swan out of the lake and last week I saw a swan that was evidently not well being pecked on the neck by its mate who seemed to be trying to get it up on its feet.

    Those were the days when there was such a thing as a Parkie wandering around wearing a peaked cap and telling you to keep off the grass
