Here is some Avian Fly test on wild brids that I read from the following webpage.  
 
http://www.nmnh.si.edu/BIRDNET/OC/fact/Avian%20Influenza-Aug06%20Revisio n.pdf
 
"In 2006, none of the 39,143 wild birds of 150 species sampled in Europe were found to be infected.  Of the 6,500 live birds (of 55 species) found on a lake in Mongolia where a mass mortality event killed 100 birds, none tested positive for the virus."  
 
It is surprising to me that even tests of this magnitude cannot review the virus in wild birds.   There seems to be something wrong, something does not match up.  In HK, future Avian Flu tests should be focussed on dead birds.
