We already had H5N1 and H2N5 circulating recently.
Any bird can get either of those or both & if the latter, can produce H5N5 avian flu.

@0xabad1dea That sounds odd. If I plug in a USB storage device into my Mac which has an unknown (or no) format on it, I get prompted to initialize, eject, or ignore it. (Eject is a bit of an anachronism as it's just a logical operation.) I am running 14.7 though, so I guess maybe it has changed?
