Neighbor's bird's on my property exposed to eye conjunctivitis and or possibly avian flu.. what do I do?

It might be my local animal control is either too busy to help me or they aint worth a dime.

I would say they are not worth a dime. More times than not they won't do anything unless animals are actually dying. They have to find a dog zip tied to a tree to care.

Caging them and giving the chickens to someone else is the best way to go.

Its ironic that the chickens I hate so much might have been diseased by my house finch and therefore will disease the family that lets them trespass upon me

 

[Outraged neighbor]

Their birds probably caught eye conjuntivitus from my little wild bird from my back porch but you never know about the recent avian flu outbreaks. dirty bird

 

[Outraged neighbor]

I don't want to cage them because they might have a disease from the house finch on my back porch and I don't want to inadvertently give some diseased chickens away nor do I want to get a weird eye virus...lol

 

[Outraged neighbor]

Ive made it a practice wear a mask all the time anyway ever since covid began because I take care of an elderly lady and so I never get sick anymore from stupid neighbors or their livestock and so I'm immune to pretty much anything disease like. I still can't stand their chickens though.

You cannot get eye conjunctivitis from birds so you are safe on that end.

You can tell any interested buyers about the potential disease. Some people are still willing to take chickens even if they are diseased.

If there are no signs of the virus in the chickens, preventative measures can start. Doing saline flushes of salt water in their eyes should help keep their eyes clean.

Because I wear a mask all the time, I could just do nothing. Leave my bird feeder up and not play God and intervene. Maybe the diseased house finch with what appears to have eye conjunctivitis won't effect the other birds and maybe the little house finch will survive and who am I to kill anything or stop feeding anything since I didn't cre4ate the bird to begin with? Would it be my fault if I simply did nothing?

If everything is diseased...
Kill them with fire.

 

[Outraged neighbor]

If the family that allows their livestock to trespass catches the avian flu then its their own fault since I always wear a mask anyway to prevent covid.
