If you saw a dead bird would you report it to somebody ?
 

Given that the UK now offically has the wrong kind of bird flu and it is only a matter of time until it gets to North America too if got me thinking. If I saw a dead bird would I think to call and tell somebody so it could be tested. I am glad the person in the UK that saw the dead swan did call but I don't know if it would be on the top of my head. Would it be something you would think to do?

There are all kinds of dead birds at KFC. Someone call.

Yup and I have done it several times here in regards to West Nile.

Dead crows over here usually indicate west nile.

that could be someones dinner,,, cmon

my parrot farted! should i report it to someone??

With the way things are going over here, (Scotland) then I think every dead bird found will be called in, doesnt matter if its a gull or a little birdie the cat brings home! I only live about 15 miles away from where the swan was found but no one is really bothered.

What is bothering us though is that the government is keeping it all hush hush. took them a whole week just to tell us all about it and get it investigated..If its not that serious then tell us everything otherwise we thinkg were up the shit as they are keeping things from us..

Calling it in helps speed up notifying their next of kin also.

birds die all the time, so dont worry about it,... unless it is an eagle or a condor. Then, yes, go ahead and report it, since they are in danger of extintion

Not sure if I would call in on ONE dead bird. They die all the time. but on two or more, I would have no problem making that call.

WTF kind of thinking is that.

Well so long as the cute little animals live who gives a shit about the humans? :1orglaugh

I would and have in fact a few weeks back, we had 3 dead birds on the beach at the end of the block no clue if anything became of the report though [shug]

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Ummm in order to see a dead bird I would have to go outside of my house first
:1orglaugh

I never seen a dead bird

Every day birds die. You seem to be a bit paranoid to me.

What if it had the bird flu. What can be done after that?

i don't think i'd even think of bird flu.

Yeah though if the gov't went big about it straight away they would then be accused of fear mongering.

Thats also true but if it isnt all that big a deal then why hide it all...

well one did have it and thankull somebody was paranoid enough. My point was that I don't know if I am paranoid enough. What can be done? Bringing poultry inside like they should have ages ago.

lol true

I usually pick up dead birds and wear them like hats. Then I sleep with them.. NO, you weirdo! Not fuck them, but just sleep with them. I've heard inhaling a lot of birdflu is good for you.

On one call in I heard somebody say they won't panic until they see a politician force feeding their kid a chicken burger.

most probably yes

lmfao Hahaha...People shouldnt panic but seeing as bird flu is here then dead birds should be reported...On another note Im still going to enjoy a nice steamy hot KFC!

they are probably planting the dead birds around

just like the cattle found with mad cow disease that non had records of

just magicvlaly appeared in buddys field and low and behold right away has mad cow disease


america is an evil empire

I kill birds, should I report that? Damn, people need to get a fucking clue and then a life.

Yes, I would report it (depending on what kind of bird it is). Since I have Birdlfu 50-100km South, West and East of me.

danm, and all this time I thought I was eating chicken

Im sure you know chickens are birds :winkwink:

By the way this is one of the reasons I slaughtered all my chickens.

Ya know, Sarah? That's an interesting question...and I might not have thought to call it in, until I read this thread.

That's interesting. I've done a lot of research on West Nile, published a couple of papers last year on research I was involved in. People making calls regarding dead birds was a tremendous help in tracking the progress of the WNV geographically. So, thanks for making the call. Who knows, maybe I got one of your dead birds!

those arent real birds

They are manufactured birds - bred to ensure no taste and covered in KFC taste -enhancer then marketed as something wholesome originating from Kentucky.

I like my chickens processed. :thumbsup

not sure i would like about it really

Poor Chick! :1orglaugh She never sees the light of day - lives in a wire cage, has almost nada immune system, gets disorted feet cos the nails are too long and gets her beak cut. Then she gets her head chopped off on a conveyor belt.

Tho the KFC "taste-enhancer" is not too bad! :thumbsup

I'd call the White House Switchboard at 202-456-1414, ask for Bush and report the sighting to him personally, but only if they put him on. Since he wants to hype it all up, he should take the reports personally.

depends on the kind of bird...

Its Crazy, Becuase Today I Found A Dead Bird After Final Formation (im In The Army). What A Coincidence. I Didn't Report It, But I Burried It Real Quick When Nobody Was Around. Don't Ask Why, It Might Have Something To Do With Those Needles They Gave Me In Bootcamp.

Do Those Needles Also Make You Capitalise Every Word? ;)

i wouldn't
