Bird flu

[Noraaaaa]

Can a bird get bird flu by eating another bird? It is a wild bird and it is small. I don’t know how much she ate or for how long.

Indeed, eating another sick bird can expose a bird to avian influenza, sometimes known as bird flu. The H5N1 virus may spread across a bird colony through cannibalism, as demonstrated by research that verified crows ingested the virus through this practice.

Yes, I think it can.
I hope she doesn't get it

Dispose the dead bird and wash your hands well.

Possible she could have been exposed to something, but I wouldn't worry too much.
