Bird fluI think I may explode if I hear the phrase 'bird flu' one more time!!!!!! How are you coping? I think the media are just going crazy - from all accounts the scientists are doing all they can and preparing more and more news articles won't help at all. (Remember the millenium bug, sars, flesh eating virus etc - what happened to all of those?  )Perhaps I'm wrong, if I find myself going cluck cluck atishoo then I'll believe it's a real problem.

 @ DM. Yes, I think the media always over react to these sort of things but still it is there in the back of your mind that this could become a 'real' problem |

At the moment it's all hype...But makes you wonder if it could become a problem...My neighbours have, chicken, duck and geese who wander all over the place.... |

I think the media play it up too much and start unecessary worrying. It might be a problem but please don't over-dramatise it...... And Moli.......I would have your little pop gun ready if I were you  |

I worry about the amount of birds that are going to suffer because of the media over dramatising it - just give us the facts please and leave out all the hyped up scaremongering! I'm getting really upset by all the images of these poor birds - maybe if the animals were kept in better conditions there wouldn't be such a health scare  |

Yes Emm - I agree with your concern. People will stop feeding the wild birds etc...............and if our free-range poultry is banished indoors it will be awful. Don't think the farms could cope, there would have to be a mass slaughter and dead-cheap free range chicken, followed by no free range chicken. News now is that there is a scare in Greece......................... |
