I wonder if one of your neighbors put out something poisonous and it got on seeds or in a small water supply.

They probably had something on the Pope. Vatican don't play.

Yes. Bird flu has decreased significantly in the last month, no one knows why.

Wild birds are the natural reservoir for bird flu, not poultry.
