What should be done if migratory birds are sighted near ones house?
Migratory birds may or may not carry the avian flu virus. It depends on whether these birds have flown from a region where avian flu is prevalent. This can be determined only by an expert. Therefore in case a migratory bird is sighted, it should not be killed. However, as a precaution, one should stay away from these birds and their droppings. The municipal authorities should be informed immediately.
