Bird flu in Ethiopia?

Health officials in Ethiopia are investigating the deaths of hundreds of pigeons, near Addis Ababa and in the eastern Somali region, according to a report on the BBC News Africa site. A lot of birds migrate to the region, so the possibility is being taken seriously, even though there have been no reported cases of bird flu yet in Africa.

I get an RSS feed from the BBC News Africa site, which I view using
Bloglines, which is how I knew about this story.
