New virus discovered!!!

Postby Pajarita » Sat Jul 30, 2016 12:56 pm

This is an article about a newly discovered avian virus that MIGHT be the cause of AKD (Avian Keratin Disorder) affecting birds beaks. It usually only affects wild birds but I would assume that birds in outdoor aviaries would be exposed to it, too.
