Following a Spotted Munia at Causeway Bay and a Crested Goshawk at Shek Kip Mei, AFCD found that a Japanese White-eye at San Po Kong and a House Crow at Lai On Estate also tested positive for the H5 virus. HF Cheung, Chairman of HKBWS, warned that they are probably related to the sale and release of sick birds because the sites fanned out from the Bird Garden at Mong Kok towards the hills to the north of Kowloon. He urged the government to temporarily ban the import of munias to curb the spread.
港相思家鴉驗出H5
【明報專訊】繼銅鑼灣斑文鳥和石硤尾鳳頭鷹後,漁護署再發現新蒲崗1隻相思、深水埗麗安邨1隻家鴉,驗出懷疑H5禽流感病毒。觀鳥會主席張浩輝警告,去年和今年市區發現雀鳥染禽流感的地點,均是圍着旺角雀鳥花園,以半月形向九龍北部山邊一帶散佈,很大機會與販賣、放生染病雀鳥令病毒傳開去有關,促請當局暫停文鳥入口,遏止禽流感進一步擴展。
