Bird Flu in Norfolk. More slaughter
5,000 birds - turkeys, geese and ducks - are to be slaughtered.
Preliminary tests showed the turkeys had the H5 strain of bird flu. The RSPB, quoted in the Guardian, warns against the assumption that the disease had spread to poultry from wild birds. , No wild birds have been found with avian flu in Europe since late August and the autumn migration is now largely over.

nd what makes things worse the outbreak is in a "free range" farm.

I think the birds are faking it with Xmas coming up.

Maybe following on from their chicken-Great Escape, Aardman Studios could do a Turkey Masada (or Marsala).

A Turkey the size of an elephant is not natural.

True enough, but T'key is not my fav' meat at Xmas anyway. By the time I've graced the table of a couple of work Xmas parties, which normally have a Turkey set menu, I've had my fill of it for the season.

So for my own Xmas din dins, I'll probably stick to roast 'Donald' or 'Pinky/Perky' or even go for Organic Free Range Chicken.

Saves having to put up with endless boring Turkey dishes made with leftovers: Turkey salad, Turkey sandwiches, Turkey kebabs, Turkey burgers, Turkey.....ad infinitum until well into the New Year.
