The zoo's birds are given vaccines for other strains of bird flu on a
regular basis, officials said. There are no vaccines for the H7N9
strains.

The management office at People's Square said no symptoms of bird flu had been found among pigeons at the square.
An official surnamed Fu said over 600 pigeons are given a vaccine for other bird flu strains at birth and once a year.

Park officials said about 950 pigeons just received vaccines in March,
