CAN THE VIRUS BE SPREAD VIA BIRD FAECES?
Gemma Barron, Edinburgh
Professor John Oxford, virologist at Barts and the London Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry: Yes, most definitely. It can be spread by bird to bird or from bird to human.
People should not go near droppings, and should wash their hands if they accidentally touch some.
But British Waterways added: "There are no known cases in the world of transmission of bird flu to humans as a result of contact with wild birds or their faeces."

So does this mean my car has bird flu? Should I take it back to the dealer to have it put down, or will the government wash it for me?
