Bird flu aka Avian flu is in my area of the Pacific Nothwest. There is a confirmed report 12 miles from me in a domestic flock. There are several protected wetlands for local and migratory bird species, one of which is 3 miles from my house. Many people here have chicken and/or duck flocks.
My concern is... I love to garden outside for my birds. Could giving these fresh items expose them even though I clean with apple cider vinegar first?
I also get worried about produce from the store. In our agricultural area people shop constantly with farm grime on them... we all feel veggies before we buy. Is it a possibility to spread it this way?
Is there an effective way to disinfect that I am not aware of? Am I too paranoid?
