Avian Flu in the UK?

What is the situation with Avian Flu in the UK? Are we still at risk? Is it ok to put food out for the birds in the garden? What precautions should we take? We have a lot of birds that come into our garden - it doesn't help when I keep feeding them ! :O) However, someone has mentioned the risk of avian flu - the last thing I want to do is to put my family at risk - any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

* Avoid domesticated birds. If possible, avoid rural areas, small farms and especially any close contact with domesticated fowl.
* Avoid open-air markets. These can be interesting places to visit, but they're often breeding grounds for disease.
* Wash your hands. This is one of the simplest and best ways to prevent infections of all kinds. When you're traveling, alcohol-based hand sanitizers containing at least 60 percent alcohol are an excellent choice. They are effective, easy to use, don't require water, and they're safe for children.
* Watch your kids. Keep a careful eye on young children, who are likely to put their hands in their mouths and who may not wash thoroughly.
* Steer clear of raw eggs. Because eggshells are often contaminated with bird droppings, avoid mayonnaise, hollandaise sauce, ice cream, and any other foods containing raw or undercooked eggs.
* Ask about a flu shot. Before traveling, ask your doctor about a flu shot. It won't protect you specifically from bird flu, but it may help reduce the risk of simultaneous infection with bird and human flu viruses.
Preparing poultry
Because heat destroys avian viruses, WHO officials don't consider cooked poultry a health threat. Even so, it's best to take precautions when handling and preparing poultry, which is often contaminated with salmonella or other harmful bacteria.
* Wash well. Carefully wash cutting boards, utensils and all surfaces that have come into contact with raw poultry in hot, soapy water. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling poultry and dry them with a disposable towel.
* Cook thoroughly. Cook chicken until the juices run clear, and it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 F (74 C).

yeah i know some bird who had it.

wash your hands well, eat a healthy diet, and get plenty of rest.
