Texas officials on Wednesday confirmed several dead birds that were discovered earlier this month near Austin tested positive for bird flu.
Austin Public Health issued the advisory Wednesday as a reminder to the public that people who work with infected wild birds, poultry or dairy cows are at a greater risk of contracting the virus if they are exposed to a sick or infected dead animal.

While bird flu typically affects wild birds, especially waterfowl, and domestic poultry, over 60 human cases of bird flu have been detected across the U.S. Story tips and ideas can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
