what are the symptons of the birdflu?

The Avian flu (H5N1) has the same symptoms as other types of the flu (respiratory issues, high fever, body aches).The symptoms become more severe and often people who have the Avian flu virus die from respiratory complications.

it means that bird probably didn't have such a good day

Check if the bird is caring for chicks.  In some species male or female sit on top of their chicks to protect them from predators, while his/her mate brings food.  Some species alternate .  If not, it might be wounded, hatching a dead egg or another number of reasons.  Probably caring for chicks though.

bird flu, or other disease...could have been sniped out of the sky as well by a coopers hawk or other bird of prey...\nBut if you are interested in bird signs aka augurie try these sites

Keep up to date on bird flu (don't rely on a WIKI!)\n\nSee the World Health Organisation site:\n\nhttp://www.who.int/csr/disease/avian_influenza/en/\n\nIf you prefer an American site, see the Centers for Disease Control:\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/flu/avian/index.htm

Here's all I could find ... maybe it can get you started?\n\nWhite Stork - a silent bird - White Storks hardly ever give voice. In the world of birds it is an uncommon situation.  Stork’s lower larynx – birds’ vocal organ – is so retarded in development that it does not produce sounds.\n\nhttp://birds.poland.pl/didyou/article,White_Stork_a_silent_bird,id,95312.htm

Avian influenza (also known as bird flu, avian flu, influenzavirus A flu, type A flu, or genus A flu) is a flu due to a type of influenza virus that is hosted by birds, but may infect several species of mammals. It was first identified in Serbia Montenegro in the early 1900s and is now known to exist worldwide. A strain of the H5N1-type of avian influenzavirus that emerged in 1997 has been identified as the most likely source of a future influenza pandemic. \n\nAvian influenza viruses compose the Influenzavirus A genus of the Orthomyxoviridae family and are negative sense, single-stranded, segmented RNA viruses. "Influenza viruses are further categorised into subtypes according to the antigens of the haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) projections on their surfaces. There are 15 haemagglutinin subtypes and 9 neuraminidase subtypes of influenza A viruses, and AI [avian influenza] viruses have representatives in all of these subtypes. However, to date all highly pathogenic AI [avian influenza] viruses that cause generalised rather than respiratory disease belong to either the H5 or H7 subtypes. For example, the classical fowl plague virus is H7N7 and the virus responsible for the major epidemic in the eastern United States in 1983 84 was H5N2" Avian Influenza - Disease Card October 21st, 2005 InfectionStrains of avian influenzavirus may infect various type of animals, including birds, pigs, horses, seals, whales and humans. However, wild fowl act as natural asymptomatic carriers, spreading it to more susceptible domestic stocks. Avian influenzavirus spreads in the air and in manure. It can also be transmitted by contaminated feed, water, equipment and clothing; however, there is no evidence that the virus can survive in well cooked meat. The incubation period is 3 to 5 days. Symptoms in animals vary, but virulent strains can cause death within a few days. This was first founded in the 1900s. \n\n"Influenza A viruses normally seen in one species sometimes can cross over and cause illness in another species. For example, until 1998, only H1N1 viruses circulated widely in the U.S. pig population. However, in 1998, H3N2 viruses from humans were introduced into the pig population and caused widespread disease among pigs. Most recently, H3N8 viruses from horses have crossed over and caused outbreaks in dogs." [1] \n\nIn humans, avian flu viruses cause similar symptoms to other types of flu. [2] These include fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, conjunctivitis and, in severe cases, severe breathing problems and pneumonia that may be fatal. The severity of the infection will depend to a large part on the state of the infected person's immune system and if the victim has been exposed to the strain before, and is therefore partially immune. In one case, a boy with H5N1 experienced diarrhea followed rapidly by a coma without developing respiratory or flu-like symptoms, suggesting non-standard symptoms. [3] Subtypes pathogenic to humansAll avian influenza (AI) viruses are type A influenzavirus in the virus family of Orthomyxoviridae and all known strains of influenza A virus infect birds. Influenzavirus type A is subdivided into subtypes based on hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) protein spikes from the central virus core. There are 16 H types, each with up to 9 N subtypes, yielding a potential for 144 different H and N combinations. \n\nIn addition, avian influenza viruses may fall into one of 2 pathotypes: low (LPAI) and high (HPAI) pathogenicity, based on their virulence in poultry populations. Avian influenzavirus H5 and H7 strains are found in both "low pathogenic” or “high pathogenic” forms; influenza H9 virus has been identified only in a “low pathogenic” form. \n\nIt is feared that if a strain of avian influenza virus to which humans have not been previously exposed undergoes antigenic shift to the point where it can cross the species barrier from birds to humans, the new subtype

I was crapped on today by a seagull. The little bastard not only crapped on me but actually crapped on my left breast!! Luckily no-one saw and laughed!

It is called the foot and mouth diseae which attackes cattle like pigs, cows, goats and so on. Looks like livestocks, including chickens that spread the bird flu are not to be taken for the time being. If you worry, take fish only or opt to be a vegeterian instead.Meantime, protection yourself by taking lots fruits becos they contain Vit.C and eating raw garlic or pills form of it.

This is sybil's first question. Try and give her a good answer.\nI'm sure someone out there has a good idea of what it could be.\nAnybody got a bird book? Cause now I really want to know too.
