The Bird Flu is spread from animals to humans but not from humans to humans (except in very rare cases). To transfer the sickness, an animal only has to come into contact with another animal who has it. The animal with the Avian Flu can give it to another bird or human through its feces, saliva, or nasal secretions. People can get it by coming in direct contact with infected poultry, usually not with contact with wildbirds, however it is feasible. That means that you should be careful when handling any birdbath, feeder, or other place where bird saliva or feces is likely to be. It is rare in humans, but to be better safe than sorry use gloves, or be sure to wash your hands well after touching anything on which the birds may have left secretions or excrement.
Swine flu was first discovered in people working with pigs. Flu is a disease that is transmitted in various forms among people, pigs, and birds. Sometimes bird flu is transmitted to pigs, and sometime pig flu is transmitted to people. What actually happens is that a pig has pig flu and catches bird flu. A chromosome from the bird flu gets mixed with the pig flu and changes it to a different type of flu. Then a person with human flu catches pig flu. A chromosome with pig and perhaps bird flu mixes with the human flu. The flu is mainly human flu but contains pig and bird flu chromosomes. It got the name swine flu because people working with pigs caught it first. Because it has the pig and bird chromosomes, people with resistance to human flu, have less resistance to swine flu.
birds get bird flu by getting diseases from ship countries such as china. birds get bird flu from transported birds, so your birds catch the disease
Yes, some strains are highly contagious in humans, such as the H1N1/09 pandemic Swine Flu. Others, like the Avian (bird) flu, are not easily transmitted from person to person. Transmission of the bird flu from human to human is extremely rare.

No, Bird Flu also known as Avian Influenza,or Avian Flu can't be spread to humans. Bird flu refers to strains of influenza that primarily affect wild and domesticated birds. In the late 1990s, a new strain of bird flu arose which was unusually severe (highly pathogenic), resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions of birds, including poultry. Although bird flu is contagious and spreads easily among birds, it is uncommon for it to be transmitted to humans.
It is expected that bird flu will continue to be a part of human experience in the near and distant future. Aggressive measures to keep it from spreading are expected to be successful in containing it.
Dogs are not susceptible to the H5N1 bird flu.
No, bird flu is a disease caught from birds.
No, applying an egg to the hair does not transmit bird flu. Bird flu, or avian influenza, is primarily spread through direct contact with infected birds or their droppings, not through the use of eggs. The virus is not transmitted through external application, such as on hair. Always practice good hygiene and follow health guidelines to avoid any potential risks.
People can get bird flu fairly easily from contact with sick birds or their saliva or feces. This is very rare worldwide, however, so far. Additionally, it is almost never passed from human to human, only very rare cases have been reported to have been transmitted that way. It is a property of the individual influenza viruses that determines how easily it is transmitted. H1N1/09, for example, is very contagious and easily transmitted from person to person, while H5N1 is not.

Yes, all birds spread bird flu
