" wouldnt pigeon be like rat cause they are both vermin. Dont they have loads of germs"
Ferrel pigeons, yes. But pigeons used for cooking are bred for that purpose and don't cause the same issues.
oh ok. See i know nothing at all. 
You are educating me well.
Kerry, pigeon is delicious, you really should try it.
erm i think i will give that one a miss thanks. Last year on holiday in Majorca there was something that looked like bat - i later found out that it was rabbit. I gave that a wide birth too. 
Poor little rabbits.I eat cow, sheep, chicken and pig - but couldnt bring myself to eat a pigeon or rabbit! Strange i know.
Not just pigeon

Briar, in our defence, it was on topic until the caravanner brought up eating horses...
Ok
I will get back on topic I'm sober this morning (I mean not had a painkiller yet)
Bird Flu requires a large amount of contact with the infected Avian species for it to be affective in Humans i.e. you have to a bird handler
Eating any sort of Poultry or game bird as long as it's cooked properly will not give you anything except indigestion if you eat too much
Eating raw meat will not give you bird flu Salmonella yes bird flu no
I repeat this you have to be in contact with LIVE birds

Yeah Swiss, you've gotta be careful where you tread when it comes to our Briar.
"Avian Flu" - just to keep my post 'on topic'

Its hard enough catching a bird !
I knew there'd be one. I typed that line and thought,
"Shall I edit that?".
Then decided,
"No, give someone an easy chance at a cheep joke".
BTW Swiss - remeber I said Id request the Winter brochure. Yesterday morning the October 2005-06 one turned up in the post. You weren't in it!

2005 - 2006 eh ? And that just a few days after the Winter officially ends ? Hmmmmmm..... Guess I ll have to wait till the end of March 2007 to see if I am in the Winter catalogue of 2006 - 2007.
Mind you... you probably did nt specify which year you wanted... you were lucky you did nt get 2001-2002 for example.

bird flu discovered in a very small and poor city on the borders of cairo so for information and it was one case discovered and its totally far away from the tourist places here in egypt..caio bella 
Sorry I don't see what the panic is.
It is only a matter of time before the UK has it's first confirmed case of the H5N1 avian influenza virus , what will you do then ?
It possibly makes sense when in Egypt and any other country for that matter, to avoid coming in to contact with large flocks of bird, so even if your holiday rep recommends it as the trip of a lifetime
don't go to any large poultry farms

Just one word....Chill! and I mean people, not the chickens.
Do it, live it, breath it, see it, feel it.
Something will kill you one day but it is highly unlikly to be anything during your 2 week trip to Egypt

chicken is only 3LE a kilo in Egypt at the moment so you can expect to see a lot of it on hotel menus.
