CDC - " Bird Flu: Causes and How It Spreads"
From CDC WEBSITE
“WHAT TO KNOW” -
Bird flu is caused by infection with avian influenza A viruses that usually spread between birds, not people.
People rarely get bird flu, but when they do, it is most often after close, unprotected exposure (without wearing respiratory or eye protection) to birds or other animals infected with avian influenza A viruses.
No person-to-person spread of bird flu has been identified in the United States at this time. Very rare, limited person to person spread has occurred in other countries.“
