>>Dead birds to be tested for bird flu<<

That makes sense. In the U.S., some states started testing dead birds for West Nile virus as a way to track its spread. Certain species of birds are more likely to die from the disease than humans, so testing dead birds gives a heads up that a disease is spreading.
