It occurs to me to wonder: just how exactly is bird flu transmitted? By having lots of goose feathers around the place, am I Putting My Household At Risk? According to Auntie Google, the answer is probably no, not unless they've got poo or other runny stuff on them. Worth bearing in mind, given that I tend to collect feathers if I see them lying around, and given that there's a fair chance bird flu will have reached the UK by the next time I'm there. Honestly, the things I never thought would be considerations for my job increase steadily.
