no, bird flu can still infect your backyard flock

Is there any reason I shouldn’t let my half-dozen birds get it and die or survive, see if any develop immunity and work from there?

Watching your chickens die sucks, my friend. They don't just drop dead overnight. It's often many days of watching them slowly suffer.

Then imagine spreading that misery to all the wild birds you love in your neighbourhood.
