Chicago-area zoos are pulling dozens of their birds from outdoor exhibits amid the spread of this year’s highly transmissible strain of the bird flu.
Mark Ernst, the state’s top veterinarian, says the Illinois Dept. of Agriculture has only learned of two backyard flocks that have tested positive for the bird flu in early March. The flocks were in Carroll and McClean counties.
While it’s possible that more birds are carrying the virus, Illinois doesn’t have a major poultry market like in neighboring states. Still, one case can be detrimental if it isn’t tracked or reported.
