Avian Flu Detected in American Crows for First Time in Years

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writes about bird flu being detected in 50 wild American crows this month. In January, Pennsylvania also found bird flu in snow geese with some of them fall from the sky to their death. The flu also killed 14 bald eagles in the state. Agencies are urging people to not touch dead birds.

Exactly the wrong man in power to handle this.

But I have faith that MAGA will be able to face all the suffering and death.

Without complaining.

We've got to stop the immigrants from eating these crows before they handle our fruit and clean our houses and kill all of us!
