Singapore’s
Bird Flu “Police”
An
amusing
report from Reuters says the Singapore government, worried about a mass
bird flu outbreak at the famed Jurong Bird Park, has enlisted a squad of
“flu police” – chickens in each aviary designed to detect any infectious
disease.
The
chickens have been bred without immunity, and, according to the park’s boss,
“will be the first ones to fall ill if there is an outbreak of bird flu or
other infectious diseases.”
