The Department of Animal Services has said that bird flu has spread in the Kathmandu Valley due to crows. The department's Director General Dr. Umesh Dahal said that bird flu has spread throughout the valley because crows have been found infected with bird flu. 'Bird flu seen in chickens can be controlled. But crows with bird flu cannot be controlled,' he said, 'Crows have spread the infection to many places including the zoo.' Director General Dr. Dahal says that infected crows fly from one place to another. Since the infection seen in crows lasts for 21 days, he says that they can spread bird flu a lot. 'After a crow dies, it is not known where it died. And the same dead crow spreads bird flu. Crow droppings also spread bird flu a lot,' he said.
