How come West Nile Virus affects only Corvids ( jays, crows, ravens) ? Viruses require a specific host. They reproduce by hijacking a specific type of cell.

It does..."H5 Bird Flu: Current Situation (CDC). H5 bird flu is
widespread in wild birds worldwide and is causing outbreaks in poultry and U.S. dairy cows with several recent human cases in U.S. dairy and poultry workers."
Maybe we don't observe it in wild birds because the windmills are killing so many.

Dead birds in the wild get scavenged and are seldom observed or tested unless it’s a large colony die off.
