While egg prices were sky rocketing here "CUS BIRD FLU" they were under
$2 a dozen in Mexico, well under for some brands. In Canada, there was
a similar pattern where egg prices creeped up by a small margin but
nowhere similar to here in the United States. How is it this Bird Flu
knew where the borders were and why did it respect them?

You're focused on the source of the "Bird Flu" panic for your oh so
accurate information on bird flu. But that "information" was debunked
long ago, and you just doubled down, seeking more of the same kind

Mexico did not have the dairy epidemic, so their commercial layer flocks were never infected by infected dairy workers working on the layer farms.  It is really that simple.

As for Canada, what changes at the border is pretty much everything. We have a system of supply management for eggs which, like it or hate it, makes huge flocks impossible.  The average Canadian poultry farm has about 25000 chickens, as opposed to some US farms which are many times larger.
Thus in Canada one infection can lead to the loss of 25k birds, in the US of one million.
Colder weather means that flocks are housed differently and interact less with wild birds - as far as I know nobody has estimated whether this is an important factor or not, but seems likely to have had an impact.
It is also claimed that we have a lower proportion of free range chickens here, but I haven't seen a decline in the availability of such eggs.
As to the cross infection between dairy and egg operations, I can't be definitive.  But I think that it is difficult to get a license and a quota for both operations.
