Dead migratory birds found in Germany have tested positive for bird flu,
media announced Tuesday.

While further tests should show whether that is the deadly H5N1 strain, the
European Union banned all imports of live wild birds to the bloc.

The ban doesn't affect imports of fewer than 6 pet birds by individuals,
and only if they have been in quarantine or vaccinated against bird flu.
