The team say their findings are important as wild birds have the capacity to travel over considerable distances. Sheppard said a key concern was that these birds could pass antimicrobial-resistant bacteria to captive birds destined to be eaten by humans – such as those kept in poultry farms.

This isn't a problem to people who don't eat captive birds.

This wouldn't be a problem for anyone if we didn't cram billions of birds into tiny dark diseased shit filled boxes and pump them full of antibiotics.

Every day gives us another reason to eat plant-based.
