"...not from birds."

probably not - although i think the Arctic Tern runs a course up the eastern U.S. seaboard and down the European/Africa coast on its migration?

And what about bird imports - or bird products. Can a dead and processed bird carry the flu?

I think it is the slaughtering and cleaning that is of highest risk. Once meat has been cooked, I don't think it can spread the flu virus.

Apparently so. Which completely amazes me.
