Avian flu found in Deschutes County, Oregon | 13 Feb 2015 | A flock of backyard poultry has tested positive for avian influenza near Tumalo in Deschutes County, the Department of Agriculture said Friday. Avian influenza, also commonly called bird flu or H5N8, poses no immediate risk to humans but can be deadly to birds. About 90 chickens, turkeys and ducks that have had access to ponds on the property frequented by migratory wild waterfowl were infected with the virus, officials said. The Oregon Department of Agriculture is in the process of setting up a quarantine zone around the property to restrict movement of domestic birds in and out of the area.
