OT Mad old woman syndrome and bird flu
In message , dave
writes Just heard on the news that bird flu virus is spread by bird faeces (unlike say Foot n Mouth). The old woman who lives next door to us Is she called Mary ? while apparently mentally with-it and certainly physically so, OK, as you were ... insists of putting out vast amount of bird seed (continuous feeders), 1/2 coconuts, seed-ball (several of those). Thanks to this over-plentiful supply we actually have FLOCKS of sparrows in our and neighbouring hedges, and dozens of pigeons who feed on the seed the sparrows throw out of the feeders. The bird mess in *her* garden is quite disgusting and we get our 'share' due to this. In the light of the bird flu possibility, is this now a public health risk. (ie should I go and *try* to explain to her this much food is not a good idea). When you suddenly stop posting, we'll know what's happened -- geoff |
