Dead birds in Hong Kong test positive for H5N1 virus

TWO dead birds found in Hong Kong in early March have tested positive for H5N1 virus, the city's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said today.

A black-headed gull was collected at Castle Peak Power Station at Tuen Mun on March 2, while a peregrine falcon was found at Kam Kwai House at Ma On Shan on March 3. Both birds were confirmed to be H5N1-positive after a series of laboratory tests.

The department said it would continue to inspect poultry farms to ensure that proper precautions against avian influenza have been implemented.
