  Bird flu affects wild birds too, and during an epidemic  
infected wild birds are a huge risk to out-door farmed
birds. Even in closed-barn farms of caged birds, farmers
must practise extreme bio-security to prevent infection

The birds most at risk of catching and spreading birdflu,
are outdoor free-range flocks; so during a bird flu
epidemic free range birds either have to be hurriedly
accommodated indoors with full biosecurity  ( crowded,
confined no longer matches the accreditation marque for
free range sale) or culled and incinerated.
