Bird flu viruses mainly spread among wild birds & domestic poultry but can spread to other animals.
Key points:
Avian influenza viruses, which can cause bird flu illness, mainly infect and spread among wild birds and domestic poultry. However, some avian influenza viruses can infect and spread to other animals, including pets. While it is unlikely that you would get sick with bird flu from direct contact with your infected pet, it is possible. If your pets (including pet birds, cats or dogs) go outside and eat or are exposed to sick or dead birds, dairy cows, or other animals infected with avian influenza viruses, they could become infected. Prevent pets from interacting with wild birds, backyard poultry, cows, or other outdoor animals. Keep pets away from clothes, surfaces or environments that could potentially be contaminated with avian influenza viruses. Do not feed pets raw pet food or unpasteurized (raw) milk.

Now, with more than 210,000 Americans dead and the president himself infected with the virus, the U.S. grieves the consequences. And nurses are still being told to reuse masks designed to be thrown away after each patient. The lack of early testing was a major stumble. First, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s tests were faulty. Then there weren’t enough. The Food and Drug Administration raced to approve more tests, but without access to cheap, disposable swabs -- made almost entirely in Italy and now in very short supply -- they were useless. U.S. public health departments’ worst fears were quickly realized. Chrissie Juliano, executive director of the Big Cities Health Coalition, a forum of the largest public health departments, said the lack of available information about the actual burden of the virus “set our country’s response back by an order of magnitude we will never know.”
