We have two ponds on our property and we have been diligent about chasing off any waterfowl that have stopped by including a couple of cranes. We do have a couple of really big recreation centers/lakes in the vicinity that boast a large waterfowl population but there is nothing we can do about that. Most of the fowl around us are back yard flocks like ours and the local Amish flocks which are everything from Guineas (I love driving down the road, cresting a hill and finding a huge flock of Guineas in the middle of the road)to turkeys. I wonder if they would have any concept of AI or the symptoms as the local wild life conservation officer told us that they have dealt with instances where the Amish have had turkeys die off and just throw them in the nearest ditch without burying them spreading whatever they died from to wild turkeys.
Someone else said that about chasing the waterfowl away, but not sure if that makes any difference. They still poop and also poop flying over. I also heard or read somewhere (and this is weird) that it hasn't been found in any wild turkeys.
