   I don't know that the migrating birds that bring the flu in come this   
   far North, or at least in much smaller numbers. I think that the idea   
   of thousands of birds in tiny cages they can barely move in is more   
   common down there, and possibly illegal up here.   
      
   But we have had the odd case of bird flu up here so we are not   
   completely removed from it.
