Avian influenza N5H8 commonly known as bird flu spread seems to be coming under control, but it is spreading to other species. Over 380 birds have died with the infection in Indore division as reported on Sunday.
Three pigeons, two crows and one owl was reported on Sunday from Indore and nearby areas.
Among these, crows have the largest proportion. Further, bird flu spread to pigeons is also spreading to other species, as owls are being reported for such sudden deaths in the city.
Pigeons are being reported sick and often suddenly dying in various colonies. One such incident was also reported in Vijay Nagar. Resident Shankar Kishanlal said, “The pigeon seemed to be suffering, it did not fly and was swollen.”
He added that the nose of pigeon was also blocked and seemed infected with something. “The bird passed away the same day we spotted and tried to treat it,” Kishanlal said.
He said that a large flock of pigeons is usually seen in the area, as residents have put up feeders in the lane. “However, the flock was much smaller in the evening,” Kishanlal said.
He added that many birds still might be suffering, but we are not able to report them without proof. "Once the nose is infected and blocked, there is nothing much we can do to save the bird, as it is not possible to nebulise them like in humans," deputy director Dr Pramod Sharma said.
After the death of pigeons and owls in the devotee Prahlada Nagar, panic of bird flu spread among residents.
Two pigeons sitting on electric wire suddenly fell on the ground in the devotee Prahlada Nagar behind Shivani Hotel in Chhatripura police station area, when the dogs started bawling, the residents chased the dogs and informed the municipal corporation.
After this the municipal corporation reached the spot and took the bodies of pigeons. This morning, when the owl's body was found under the tree, the residents gathered again and informed the Municipal Corporation. Residents Suresh Jain, Nandu Jadam, Shankar Yadav said that they feel that as the crowds and other birds are dying in the city, in the same way, birds in Prahlada Nagar are also dying suddenly due to bird flu.
Administration is cautious about the bird flu spreading in birds. Samples are being taken from the bodies of dead birds, which are being sent to the lab.
Also, other measures are being taken to prevent the spread of bird flu, but everyday reports of animal-bird deaths are being received from all over the city.
