In Light of H5N1........

I keep hearing that the Bird Flu is coming to the US.... It has hit China, France, Africa, Jerusalem, Indonesia, India, Bulgaria, Egypt, Britain, Austria, thailand, Greece, the UK.... and I think Hong Kong......

How do we protect koi from such a threat?.... Maybe a pond cover?... Maybe a greenhouse?.....

I can tell you.... About 2 years ago.... Here in Pittsburgh.... there were birds falling out of the sky..... They were sick..... I don't know why... But, in a two week span... three of them came to my house.... One of them walked in the open door... Was not even afraid as they usually are... and fell over dead after a half an hour.... The second one flew on the porch and died on the steps.... As likewise the third fell over in the yard.....

It never dawned on me that it could have been bird flu.... But, it was pretty disgusting to see these pigeons falling on the ground left and right.....

In think in light of H5N1 (bird flu)... We should not take this lightly......
