Bird Flu has arrived in Flathead County. Late last week, we learned that a backyard flock of poultry has been infected with Avain Flu…the 25th case reported in Montana in the last 2-years.
Avian Flu infects domestic poultry from migratory waterfowl…usually following the spring and Fall migrations. Birds may also occur through contact with contaminated objects, equipment or the environment.
The sudden and significant deaths of domestic poultry and waterfowl near the wetlands is usually the first indicator of Avian Flu.
