Canadian who died from H5N1 flu may have caught it in illegal bird market.

Pigeon Patrol says that this is No joking matter!! Chinese researchers are suggesting Canada’s first H5N1 flu patient may have

Pigeon Patrol Bird Flu

Understand it!!!

contracted the bird flu virus passing through or near an illegal live bird market in Beijing.

And Canadian scientists have published a report on the full genetic sequence of virus taken from the Alberta woman, who died in early January after returning from a three-week trip to her native China.

 

The source of the woman’s infection has been a mystery; she spent her entire trip in Beijing, where H5N1 reportedly hasn’t been discovered for some time, and her travelling companion said she did not have contact with live birds while there.

 

But scientists from Beijing’s Centre for Disease Prevention and Control are hypothesizing that illegal live bird markets may have been the source of the woman’s infection.

 

Testing of the area around the market stall where the woman bought the duck revealed the presence of H5N1 viruses that were closely related to the ones that infected her.

 

As well, they note that several human infections with the newer H7N9 bird flu virus have been reported in Beijing.

 

The scientists suggest the illegal trade in live poultry in Beijing may pose a high risk of human infection with bird flu viruses for people living in the city.

While she had the respiratory infection that is characteristic of influenza infection, she also had evidence of meningoencephalitis, infection in the brain.

Pigeons eat at Burger King

Pigeons eat at Burger King

 

Pigeon Patrol Burger
Pigeon Patrol ran across this funny story!
JANICE McGill tells of ‘disgusting’ experience at burger joint in Glasgow’s Queen Street.
A RETIRED nurse told yesterday how she was left in a flap – after dining with a pair of pigeons in a Burger King.                               Janice McGill, 52, was enjoying a day out in Glasgow with her cousin last week when they decided to eat in the Queen Street outlet. Janice, from Irvine, said: “There were trays and food all over the place. It was disgusting. There were two pigeons walking about on the tables and the floor, rummaging through the food wrappers.”
A Burger King spokesman said: “We take this incident extremely seriously as customer experience and satisfaction are of paramount importance to Burger King.”
Pigeon Patrol could have helped this store by supplying them with the Ultra-Flex bird or pigeon spikes or the best Ultrasonic sound unit on the market today. TubeSonic.
Humiliated for feeding pigeons ?

Humiliated for feeding pigeons ?

It is about time Pigeon Patrol says that, some bread thrower has been fined for feeding the birds!Pigeon Patrol feeding

A PENSIONER says she was ‘humiliated’ after being issued with a fine for feeding pigeons.

The 82-year-old, from Leigh, was feeding the pigeons with bird food she had brought from the market on Bradshawgate last Monday, January 27, when she was approached by a Wigan Council environment enforcement officer.

He informed her she was in breach of section 87 of the Environmental Protection Act and issued her a fixed penalty notice for littering. Council has a zero tolerance policy towards littering and bird feeding.

Using an Ultrasonic Repeller would have shooed those pigeons away and the feeding would never had happened.

City restricts feeding pigeons and waterfowl.

City restricts feeding pigeons and waterfowl.

It is about time that Pigeon Patrol found a great story like this.Pigeon Patrol Feeding

Hempstead Town Tuesday unanimously adopted a law that restricts feeding pigeons, ducks and geese.

 

The town board, in a 7-0 vote, approved the law in response to complaints from residents that feeding, especially in waterfront areas, was inundating properties with birds and their droppings.

A violation of the new law is defined as feeding that attracts at least 10 birds on at least three days within a 15-day period.

 

Fines can be as much as $1,000 for the first violation, $2,500 for the second and $5,000 for the third, town spokesman Mike Deery said. The town crafted the law because of reports that “hundreds of birds and geese were being fed large quantities of food on a regular basis, creating a mess and even damaging the exteriors of homes in local communities,” Hempstead officials said in a statement.

 

The three residents who spoke at Tuesday’s public hearing on the law supported the restrictions. Jeremy Sessler of Seaford said he pushed for the law because his Ocean Avenue home sometimes has 25 to 50 birds — mostly Canada geese — on the front lawn because neighbors overfeed and attract birds. “This [the law] is good for both the residents and birds,” Sessler said after the hearing. “We now look to the town to enforce this code to protect residents.”
