It Is Spreading, Bird Flu Confirmed in UK

LONDON (AP) - The British government said Sunday that a strain of bird flu that killed a parrot in quarantine is the deadly H5N1 strain that has plagued Asia and recently spread to Europe.

The virus is spread by migrating wild birds and has recently been found in birds in Russia, Turkey and Romania, spurring efforts around the globe to contain its spread.

While it’s only been responsible for 61 deaths (all in Asia), this thing has started moving around pretty quick.
