   It could be a mixed bag.. If the birds are all kept in small cages inside   
   of a barn then maybe the wild birds wouldn't get in there where they   
   might be more vulnerable outside..   
      
   But, as you suggest, if the bird flu does get to them then it would   
   probably spread very quickly.
