Melissa in the Morning: Bird Flu

A dozen birds at Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport have been euthanized after the avian influenza was detected at the facility.  The deadly bird flu was detected on zoo grounds Tuesday, when a goose that was found dead tested positive for the disease. How likely is it for humans to get the bird flu and is this a common issue among bird populations in Connecticut? We asked our infectious disease expert, Dr. Fred Browne of Griffin Health.
