H5 flu virus found in dead bird

A dead black-headed gull found at the airport has tested positive for H5 bird flu virus, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said, and further tests were being conducted to confirm it. The common winter visitor's carcass was found at South Perimeter Road on Monday. The location is far from the passenger terminal and there are no poultry farms on neighbouring parts of Lantau.
