Cant; wait...but then the raptors may get it too. That would be bad. And
the cats ...

and the (flocks of) sparrows. AS I POSTULATED in the
original post.

Well small bird populations fluctuate with alarming rapidity and depth.
Once the bird populations is at about 10% of what it is now, the flu
will die out naturally.


Wonder how the advocates of these disgusting birds (pigeons) who attacked my
original post will squirm out of it now?

I haven't noticed any pigeons on line recently...but heck the buggers
are everywhere.


More importantly, can this dozy country wake-up and implement an immediate ban
on garden feeders that attract pigeons?

Garden feeders round here do not attract pigeons. They are busy taking
their tithe off the rape fields. Its bloody subsidised rape that cause
the pigeons you know. Filthy stinking crop feeds filthy stinking birds.

And also an immediate cull of these
filthy birds. Or do we have to wait for it to be endemic first?


Bring yer 410 round and lets go.

Same question re Contamination St and DeadEnders (but with the cancer
prog you might actually learn summat about the disease)?

I know "17 million people .." sigh Maybe it's also a clever plot,
getting those who wouldn't normally watch documentrys to help them
learn how to deal with 'real world' issues?

But 'entertainment'? woosh

All the best ..
