A sanitation worker holds chickens from a coop after they were culled in the northern town of Beit Hananiya January 4, 2008. Israeli officials said on Thursday the deadly bird flu strain H5N1 had been found in dead chickens from a kindergarten pet zoo. Government veterinarians have been ordered to cull all birds in commercial farms and private courtyards within a 3-km (1.9-mile) radius of the kindergarten. Pet birds, however, will be spared, the statement said. [Agencies]
