I can't find evidence to support taking down bird feeders to prevent spread of avian influenza. In fact, I find the opposite. Could you please advise? Dr Ian Jones, commenting on a CBC report Mar 15/22, wrote: "For scientific, factual information about avian flu please have a look at this article: Muzaffar, S.B., Ydenberg, R.C. and I.L. Jones. 2006. Avian influenza: An ecological and evolutionary perspective for waterbird scientists. Waterbirds 29(3): 243-256. The opinions in this ridiculous CBC article are not factual and should be ignored. We have two avian flu experts here at MUN and both of us are operating back yard bird feeders with no concern about 'spreading deadly avian flu virus'." Thank you.
