Bird Flu Crisis Hits Idaho: Wildlife and Farms Affected
An avian flu outbreak has killed thousands of wild birds, primarily geese, in Idaho's Treasure Valley, with reports of sick and dead birds in areas like Lake Lowell and Fort Boise. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is managing the situation by collecting carcasses and urging the public to report sightings of sick or dead birds. While the outbreak is significant, it does not pose a threat to the overall bird population. The public is advised to handle dead birds with care to prevent further spread, and domestic birds are at high risk if exposed.
