    HELSINKI, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- The first ever cases of the easily transmittable bird flu type H5N8 have been detected in Finland, the Finnish Food Authority confirmed on Friday to national broadcaster Yle.

    The Authority said all poultry and all domestic birds in Finland should now be kept inside and away from contact with wild animals.

    Fears arose last weekend in the country as many dead pheasants were found in the forests around a farm that produces pheasants for hunting purposes. The farm, located in Janakkala, north of the capital Helsinki, sets annually some 20,000 pheasants free to the forests for the winter hunting season. It has now started killing the birds out in the forests, according to Yle.
