Russia: Mass Bird Die-Off in Feodosiya
6/28/07--According to a regional media source, a mass bird-die off has been registered in Crimea. As reported by the source, thousands of dead cormorants, seagulls, and other bird species have been found near Solyonoe and Zolotoe villages of Leninskiy Region in Feodosiya. Reportedly, local specialists are not inclined to attribute the bird die-off to avian influenza (AI). According to local officials, the AI situation is currently under control and no outbreaks have been detected. A special commission reportedly tests birds for AI and monitors their day-to-day condition. In addition, the local administration has reportedly called on the local population to report all bird die-offs in the region.
