as of now the major spreading is done by the migratory birds. Which in turn infect the local bird population. there has been reports of H5n1 infecting cats and other animals not just humans. If the bird flu hits CA i would imagine all birds would be at risk. however poultry and waterfowl seem to be the hardest hit birds as of now

I think the small birds would get it before the big, aggressive ones. And then I also saw large flocks of seagulls 15 miles inland, over the coastal mountains. Those are not small birds either, and they are wild and aggressive. They leave 3-4" diameter spots of shit on your vehicle. Nasty, filthy birds. For some reason, one came at me while I was coming home from work one day. I just slapped it away while it was airborne. Do birds get rabies?
