Romanian Sick Birds want to Kill Us.

18,000 birds in Ceamurlia de Jos, Romania were killed on Sunday and culling of a neighbouring village Maliuc with less than 3,000 poultry was under way.

This is because they are dirty birds the first to get H5N1 in the European Union under Tony Blair's watch. Ireland has already prepared. We are anti-bird. Our neighbours the UK have seen their chief medical officer Sir Liam Donaldson say 50,000 Britons will die in the next years from H5N1.
they will rebel and kill you.
they will rebel and kill you.

The good news is, that the migratory routes of any wild birds that might carry H5N1 *now* is according to the WHO less likely to see significant landfall in Europe compared to only 2 weeks ago. When the damned skies were full of migrant birds.
The Danube delta, Europe's largest wetlands near the Black Sea, is a major concentration point for migratory wild and savage birds heading from Russia, Scandinavia, Poland and Germany towards warmer winter climes in North Africa.
For late october most feathered WMD carrying terrorist "avian life" will simply cross from the Danube over "former" Yugoslavia and Italy.
Ireland thus is grand. No problem in Ireland. The birds in Ireland come from somewhere else and are not unhealthy or impure. They will though come back after leaving in a few weeks. Be warned of that. Keep a sharp eye out for them next Spring. Bludgeon them. But for the moment its probably better not to go on holidays to BIRD migratory countries. {That means Italy}
