>Hershey Zoo Moving Birds To Prevent Avian Flu Spread
(Hershey, PA) -- ZooAmerica in Hershey is relocating much of its bird population to avoid the spread of avian flu. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and State Game Commission, along with the state veterinarian, recommended the move out of precaution. The zoo says the impacted species include bald eagles, red-tailed hawk, screech owl, peregrine falcon, snowy owl, and wild turkeys. Other species will remain on site as they are either not as susceptible or in more secluded areas.
