US EditionHow to navigate the bird flu in Washington state
- Avian influenza, specifically the H5N1 strain, has been persistently present in wild bird populations in Washington state since 2022, according to Katherine Haman from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
- Current human cases of bird flu in the U.S. Are linked to outbreaks on poultry farms or raw milk, and there are about 70 reported cases since 2022, according to Haman.
- Dogs are not highly susceptible to the strain of bird flu currently, but cats are, and precautions are essential in protecting domestic birds, stated Haman.
- WDFW encourages filing reports if five or more sick birds of the same species are found in a specific area over three or four days, as mentioned by Haman.
