    The above article goes on to say that dead crows have also been observed in the area.
    Crows have been dying in Gondia at least since late December. http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=180092 . Early on bird flu was excluded, but seems to have crept back into the news reports. To my knowledge no "bird flu" positive samples have been confirmed. Looking at video of the sick crows to my untrained eye it looks like Newcastle disease - http://www.flutrackers.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=181060
    Whether or not this is what killed the chickens will require further investigation from the Authorities.
