“In Indore, the number of birds dying of bird flu has been decreasing for the last few days, though we have at least one reporting from Depalpur every day,” deputy director of veterinary department Dr Pramod Sharma said.

He added that the number of bird deaths is gradually decreasing due to change in weather and better immunity in birds due to bird flu virus. However, the outbreak of bird flu is not yet over.

Other than crows and pigeons, other species like owl, bat, sparrows, etc. are suddenly dying in various parts of the city.

“Chickens are not dying from bird flu as per our reports as of now, so that’s a good news for humans,” Sharma said.
