The U.S. Department of Agriculture has confirmed that hundreds of birds in small, non-commercial flocks in five Maine counties have been exposed to or sickened by the highly pathogenic avian influenza. There is no cure or treatment for the Avian flu and birds infected must be euthanized. Maine's Department of Agriculture is warning small flock owners to keep birds indoors or cover outdoor runs to protect them from droppings of migrating wild birds.
