Birdcrazy:
Thanks Susan for the update on the investigation into the possible causes of AI being spread. Thank you Paul for the recipes. I must admit it did make my mouth water just reading them. Sorry Susan, your article did not have the same effect on my taste buds, but it was quite informative.

Susan Mouw:
You mean, I lost my "Domestic Diva" title?




It's ok - I don't think it was going to stick anyway. :)

Birdcrazy:
One additional thought Susan, maybe we need a new category on Forum classifications "Favorite Recipes ". Maybe they are better left in the Members Only category so our club members have a monopoly on them!

Susan Mouw:
Ok, I'm waiting for some awesome recipes in the Recipes thread in the Members Only section. :)

Jean:
I'm not believing that article for one minute.

WILD BIRDS, my hiney.

Can we all for a moment just imagine how many backyard farms would have AI?  I am close to a lake and am considered to be in a high risk zone.  My chickens do not free range, but my turkeys and geese do. 

My breeder pens are only covered with nylon netting.  Now, I don't feed wild birds, but I have starlings, sparrows, cow birds, magpies, crows and ravens that visit my farm.  These birds all must get water from the lake or the wetlands below me. 

We have Canadian geese, mallards and snow geese that frequent the area in the spring.  The snow geese only stop for a week or two.

I've been part of the AI testing program for years and have never had an issue.  So, how can a scientific group point fingers at the wild bird population?  There have not been any findings of dead song birds reported to my knowledge. 

So, these findings really make me think where is the scientific proof????
