Impact Of Bird Flu Outbreak Widespread Across California  

There’s a nasty virus spreading through the U.S.  We’re not talking about COVID and we’re not even talking about humans.  Avian influenza or bird flu has affected millions of birds across the country, including here in California.   And in the Central Valley, farmers have been set back months due to the loss of flock and eggs.
