What is the bird flu disaster

The bird flu disaster refers to the rapid spread of avian influenza among bird populations, leading to significant ecological and economic impacts. This viral outbreak threatens not only wildlife but also poultry industries, raising concerns about food security and public health.

How is bird flu transmitted

Bird flu, or avian influenza, spreads primarily through direct contact with infected birds or their droppings. Wild birds often carry the virus without showing symptoms, making them silent carriers. Contaminated surfaces and water can also facilitate transmission.
