Wild Animal Clinic Tests Birds For Flu Virus

RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL - OCTOBER 24: A Long-legged Buzzard (L) spreads its wings as it recuperates from its injuries alongside a Black Kite at the Wild Animal Clinic October 24, 2005 in the Ramat Gan Safari Park in central Israel. The migratory birds are amongst dozens brought to the clinic from all over the country each week where they are tested for the flu virus before being treated for their injuries. Fears are rising in Israel, the Palestinian Authority and neighboring Jordan that even one of the millions of birds who make the annual winter migration over the land bridge from Europe to Africa may contract Avian flu on its way south and then infect the region's domestic fowl.
