Another water bird died of suspected H5N1 Avian Influenza at the National Zoological Park on Thursday. “A rosy pelican has died. We have sent the sample for testing. The Centre-appointed Committee to look into the bird flu situation at the zoo has also been apprised of the death,” a zoo official said. The zoo had reported the death of a grey partridge on Wednesday. Zoo curator Riyaz Khan, however, had refused to equate the death with bird flu.”It was a captive bird and died of fighting among the birds in the enclosure,” he had said. The zoo remains closed amid a bird flu scare. A total of 12 water birds, including painted storks, ducks and pelicans died of H5 Avian influenza at its premises since October 14.
