As to the bird flu, I`d like to know why on the TV news they show people (in foreign places) killing off ALL the useful fowl (chickens, ducks, geese) in an area, when in a real epidemic some will survive to breed, thus making that species stronger. Killing them all off is not the answer. They also show people spraying some sort of antibiotic spray stuff around where the birds are in an attempt to kill off the virus, which is really weird, as sprays can`t kill viruses. (WE know what can kill off viruses, don`t we???) I actually do use CS in my birds` water occasionally. It stopped a die-off a few months ago. (I raise finches.) Any thoughts??? Marshalee Marshalee, How do we know that what they are spraying is a" form of antibiotic spray stuff"? It could easily just be water spray to cool down the fowl, especially if it is in a hot climate!
