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'
Hahaha, that is genuinely funny :hehe:Quote:

An outbreak of avian flu is believed to have killed more than 30 birds at a city park.
Been around a while now. Hopefully it's 30 seagulls or pigeons but I doubt it.Quote:

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?Quote:

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?Quote:

Two jabs and a rooster will sort it out.
:hehe: too many gems to acknowledge individually so it's a group :hehe: from me. You'd have got £10 a pop when Readers Digest was in its heyday!
Is that where they hang out these days? It used to be the Top Rank back in my day :getscoat:Quote:

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 grassQuote:
