H5N1 News: Bird flu found Britain, Croatia
A parrot that died in quarantine in Britain and wild swans in Croatia have been diagnosed with bird flu, officials from both countries said Friday.
It was not immediately clear whether the parrot had the H5N1 strain of bird flu, which has devastated poultry stocks across Asia and killed 61 people in the last two years.
The bird, imported from South America, died in quarantine, said Debby Reynolds, the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs' chief veterinarian.
