With the presence of avian flu in the Bay Area, San Mateo County Health advises residents who keep backyard birds or domestic flocks to protect them from contact with wild birds, and for the public to take precautions when handling dead birds. Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), which is highly contagious and often fatal in birds, poses minimal risk to people, but residents should take care when interacting with birds.
