Bird flu has killed hundreds of wild black vultures at a Georgia sanctuary that houses more than 1,500 other animals.
Noah’s Ark is in Locust Grove, about 30 miles miles southeast of Atlanta. It's more than 100 miles northwest of the area where hundreds of birds in a mixed backyard flock died or were euthanized earlier this year and most of the previously reported 15 wild bird deaths from the virus were located.Georgia's Department of Agriculture and Department of Natural Resources set up a six-mile perimeter around the sanctuary in hope of containing the spread, according to WXIA.
“With birds that are able to move around and airborne, this disease could spread pretty rapidly if it’s not contained very quickly,” state Sen. Emanuel Jones, whose district covers Henry County, told the station.
