Macao Continues Pigeon Catch amid Flu Scare

Macao's Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau has been continuing the wild pigeon round-up over the avian-flu concern, local media reported Friday.

The Macao Post Daily quoted sources from the bureau as saying that the hired professional bird catchers from Hong Kong had captured some 70 pigeons since Wednesday when the campaign started.

The netted wild pigeons have been transferred to an aviary for precaution against possible flu pandemic threat, according to the newspaper.

Meanwhile, the bureau called on local residents and visitors to refrain from feeding wild pigeons.
