Yeah, that gives the impression that he just happened upon some birds.

While I don't think bird flu is contagious in this manner, if you have a
back yard where lots of wild birds congregate (and therefore also poo),
there are diseases you can catch from them even if they do fly away every
time they see you.

I can't remember the name of it now, but the one I am thinking of effect
your eyesight.  I think it is hystoplasmosis, or hysto for short.
