Abstract
Aquatic birds are considered the primary reservoir for influenza A viruses (Nettles et al., 1987). However, there is little concern about avian influenza among conservation agencies responsible for the welfare of those species. IN contrast, the poultry industry has great concern about avian influenza and view aquatic birds as a source for infection of poultry flocks. In some instances, differences in these perspectives created conflict between conservation agencies and the poultry industry. I speak on behalf of migratory birds, but philosophy and perspectives offered are intended to be helpful to the poultry industry in their efforts to combat avian influenza.
