Avian influenza, also known as bird flu is a contagious disease among birds, caused by the influenza A virus. The H5N1 subtype is considered to be the most pathogenic virus from all the subtypes of influenza A virus. This means that the disease is severe, has a sudden onset, and rapid death.
The most resistant birds are the wild ones, who shed the virus in their organism and then spread it to poultry. Chicken, ducks and turkeys get infected if they get in contact with discharges from infected birds, infected water, and infected vehicles. The markets of live birds are also responsible for the virusâs spread.
In 1983â1984 in the US another virus affected poultry. The H5N2 virus was low pathogenic but during 9 months it mutated and became highly pathogenic. During that epidemic 13 million birds died or were destroyed.
The virus can easily spread in the area if a contaminated bird is left to roam freely; if it drinks water from the place other birds drink, this way contaminating the water. Cars can spread the virus also from one place to another if they are not disinfected properly. Shoes, cages and clothing are also a way of spreading the virus.
This is why the infected farms need to be put under quarantine and the exposed flocks to bird flu need to be destroyed, to prevent the virus from spreading to other farms and other parts of the country.
This virus is in a continuous genetic development and as time goes by our treatment options become more and more restrained. Scientists need to move fast in finding an effective vaccine against bird flu, because the viruses have the ability of changing their status and of developing very fast, gaining even the possibility of transmitting themselves from one person to another.
The strain virus can swap or âreassortâ genetic materials and merge with another virus. This can lead to a more pathogenic form of a virus and can affect humans if the new virus contains genes from a human influenza virus. This will also cause a transmission of the disease from human to human.
Until now scientists knew that the mixing between bird flu virus and human flu virus can be made if both viruses are found during the same time inside pigs. But now it seems that humans can also become mixing vessels for viruses.
Normally the bird flu virus only infects birds and pigs but in 1997 in Hong Kong human cases of infection were registered. 18 people were affected and 6 of them died.
Humans can get infected if they get into close contact with ill birds. People who transport poultry, who feed them and clean the place the birds live in, are exposed to the virus if the birds are infected. Eating cooked chicken meal is not dangerous as the virus gets inactivated at heat.
In order to prevent a pandemic, governments decided to destroy all birds that got infected, to disinfect farms, cars, cages and any other object that could pass the virus from one place to another.

Pets have a great effect on humans, this has been studied and researched for many years, with no real scientific presumptions it can be relatively safe to say that many people feel that having a pet improves their quality of life. For bird lovers the choice in pets is clear, having a bird in the house is something that many people love, and naturally, birds can add a lot of style to house as well.
Giving your bird its own living space is one of the essentials of bird ownership. However, with the different models, sizes, and colors of bird cages available in pet shops nowadays, you might have a hard time choosing the best home for your bird.
Nevertheless, do not fear for here are some guidelines that would help make your search for that perfect cage much easier. Follow them and chances are you will never go wrong!
Large birds, on the other hand, should be kept in cages with bars that are positioned horizontally rather than vertically to provide a venue for climbing and exercise.
Be particular with shape and style of cages.
This is a very important consideration since there are studies which state that round bird cages are detrimental to the psychological health of most birds. Angled ones, therefore, are much preferable.
More often than not, these cages may be hung or placed on a stand. They also come in all shapes and sizes to house your pet bird comfortably and with style.
The craftsmanship and quality of the bird cage should also be carefully assessed.
Examine the quality of the bird cage before making a purchase. Here are some questions to answer:
Does the cage look solid and well-built?
Does it have any sharp edge or loose part?
Is it made of stainless steel that will never chip, is easy to clean, and is non-toxic?
Make sure that the cage will perform its main function and that is to protect your pet bird. Ensure that the bird cage will not be dangerous to its well-being and health.
There you go. With careful planning and right decision, you will be able to purchase the best bird cage for your bird. A safe, fun, sturdy, comfortable, and secured home.
Decide on the placement and location of your bird cage.
You must determine where you will place your bird cage and shop for it based on what will be appropriate for the spot that you have chosen. The spot should be away from drafts and windows, but must be placed in a lively part of the house to encourage interaction between pet and human beings.

The rat is a rat from the sewer, and somehow got into my bird cage and bit him in the face, I think that there are not chances of having rabbis but what about other kind of infection
-NEED top consult an avian VET asap! Better for the bird, as well as whatever he may have gotten form the rat that could be transmitted to you.
