Has anyone here had bird flu yet and was it confirmed / tested to be bird flu? What was it like? Asking because every migratory bird in the western rockies stops at my place and I have an outdoor mouser cat.

As of now, bird flu is extremely uncommon. Even getting the genetic test to confirm it is something that most labs are not setup to do. The current primary symptom of bird flu is conjunctivitis (red eye) with some of those infected exhibiting symptoms of severe conjunctivitis.
