ARGHAKHANCHI: More than 150 birds of Dagre (Sari) species have died in Divarna VDC, Bhainsethala, in the last three days. According to locals, birds that were hovering around the houses and fields have died in large numbers and suspect they might have died of bird flu.

Chief of District Livestock Service Office Dr Gopal Giri said that they have sent the samples of dead birds to Pokhara-based Livestock Service Investigation Laboratory for tests, but the disease has not been identified.

Giri also said, “We are preparing to send samples to Kathmandu for further confirmation of any bird flu.”   http://www.thehimalayantimes.com/fullNews.php?headline=Birds+die%26sbquo%3B+flu+suspected&NewsID=325625
