There is no cure for bird flu and all birds infected have to be destroyed to stop the risk of it spreading to more birds.

Domesticated birds that are kept in doors at all times are not so much at risk.

Bird flu in humans has similar symptoms to the common flu:

fever
cough
sore throat
muscle aches
conjunctivitis

Avian refers to birds and flu is the common name for influenza. Avian flu is influenza that infects birds, including wild birds such as ducks and domestic birds such as chickens. Avian flu is caused by influenza virus type A. There are 15 subtypes influenza A, two of which affect birds. These are called the H5 and the H7 subtypes.1

These viruses are known as "highly pathogenic (disease-causing) avian influenza" (HPAI). They produce a severe disease in birds and are rapidly fatal, leading to bird flu epidemics.

One such bird flu virus (the H5N1 subtype) is currently infecting chickens in Asian countries.

Antiviral medications used to treat human flu viruses help to reduce the symptoms of bird flu, but it's not yet clear whether these work for the current type of bird flu.1

There is currently no vaccine to prevent bird flu in humans. Currently available vaccines are not effective against the H5N1 strain of the virus. Scientists are working on developing a vaccine, but it is difficult because the virus frequently changes.1
