Two people are in quarantine after coming into contact with birds infected with avian influenza
(WXYZ) – Two people are in isolation and nine others are being monitored after coming into contact with animals infected with bird flu.
Officials said the two people in quarantine have symptoms but tests have not yet confirmed they have the virus.
Bird flu has been detected in a backyard flock in Oakland County. This is the second case in Oakland County since the virus was first detected in Michigan in 2022.
Officials said the site of the outbreak has also been isolated and the birds will be “reduced in population” to prevent the spread of the disease.
Testing to confirm the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza was conducted by the Michigan State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory as part of a Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development investigation.
According to the state, following a few important steps can help protect the health and vitality of Michigan's pet birds.
- To prevent contact between domestic birds and wild birds, bring birds indoors or completely seal off outdoor areas.
- Wash your hands before and after handling birds and when moving between different houses.
- Disinfect boots and other equipment when moving between huts.
- Do not share equipment or other supplies between sheds or other farms.
- Clean and disinfect equipment and other supplies between uses. If it cannot be disinfected, please discard it.
- Use well water or city water for drinking water for birds.
- Poultry feed should be stored safely to avoid contact of feed/feed ingredients with wild birds or rodents.
Domestic bird owners and breeders should be on the lookout for multiple sudden deaths in their flock, reduced egg production, significantly reduced water intake, and an increase in diarrhea, sneezing/coughing, or sick birds. If you suspect your bird has avian influenza, please contact MDARD immediately at 800-292-3939 (daytime) or 517-373-0440 (after hours).
If anyone observes unusual or unexplained deaths in wild bird populations, please report these incidents to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) by:
- Using the DNR's Eyes in the Field app [links-2.govdelivery.com]. Select the “Sick Wildlife'' option from the “Observation Form'' selections.
- Call the DNR Wildlife Disease Laboratory at 517-336-5030.
