Flu spreads from birds (commonly poultry) to person, or person to person. Birds
are most common source of infection for humans. Transmission of Bird flu from

cough, laugh, they create droplets. These droplets, which contain virus,
suspend in air for some times and can be inhaled by healthy people and thus
giving the entry to virus in their body.
