Well unless you are a chicken or some other feathered creature you won't have a problem. It's called bird flu coz it effects birds. Only thing to do is avoid visiting large concentrations of birds (aviaries, chicken farms etc) and if you see a dead bird leave well alone. The only humans that have suffered have been people closely associated with the sick birds. I don't suppose you'll be planning to get down and intimate with any turkish birds while you're there ....will you ?

Gecko quite right. Not a prob unless you get intimate with Turkish birds. Believe me, its all a load of poop created by the media.
