Britain's chickens should be kept indoors to stop them catching bird flu, it was claimed yesterday.

The warning came as Holland told farmers to move their flocks inside -with Germany set to follow next month.

A strain of the H5N1 virus - which infects poultry and has been linked to the deaths of 57 people - has spread into Russia and could soon reach Europe.

1. My second favorite headline: "Chickens Explode"

A one-column stacked headline about the corpses of dead chickens buried in a landfill building up gasses until the landfill exploded.

2. My favorite headline:

In the Greensboro, NC paper, after the mail-order porn company Adam & Eve were acquitted on charges of breaking postal laws:

ADAM AND EVE FOUND NOT GUILTY

5. LOL

Was the snake found guilty of being an accessory?

6. Gee, my chicken already has an indoor cage

but since I am in NorCal, there is probably no reason to worry for a while. Henrietta would probably get pissed at not being able to go outside to eat bugs and worms. However, she does like spaghetti noodles.
As to the European birds, perhaps they have hit on the means to save the domestic flocks from infection. I like all birds, and it seems so sad that many will die from this virus. Wonder what effects it will have on the insect population, etc.?
