People catch bird flu by close contact with birds or bird droppings. This is just the flu that infects birds. The bird flu that people often call the bird flu is not the same. That one is passed from person to person.
Some people have caught H5N1 from cleaning or plucking infected birds. In China, there have been reports of infection via inhalation of aerosolized materials in live bird markets. And some infections have occurred in people who handle fighting cocks.
There have been a few cases where one infected person caught the bird flu virus from another person -- but only after close personal contact. So far, there has been no sustained human-to-human spread of H5N1.
