Bird flu detected in wild birds and poultry flock in Solano County

Officials reported detection of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), commonly known as bird flu, in both wild birds and a domestic poultry flock in Solano County, according to FOX40.

The Solano County Department of Agriculture issued a press release stating the affected backyard poultry flock has been culled to prevent further spread of the virus.

This measure aims to contain the disease and protect other birds in the region from infection.

Residents in the Sacramento area are advised to stay informed about bird flu developments as Solano County neighbors Sacramento, potentially impacting local poultry and wild bird populations.
