(Oregon News) Oregon wildlife officials said they have diagnosed a handful of wild mammals with highly pathogenic avian flu – but they do not consider it an outbreak. The disease, commonly known as bird flu, is usually associated with wild birds and backyard flocks. It has killed thousands of birds throughout the state in recent months and led to the death and euthanization of millions of chickens and other domestic birds across the U.S.
