I'm looking to interview you all. Yes, again.

I'm currently working on two pieces centered on bird flu - one is a 'problem' piece taking a look at mismanagement of the virus and unethical culling practices, and the other is a solutions-oriented piece looking at gene editing, testing, vaccinations, and alternative fowl (did you know pigeons are resistant to bird flu?). I need interviewees who are able to respond to interview questions via email within 24-72 hours. I'm definitely willing to interview folks outside of these parameters, but what I'm mostly looking for in interview subjects is:

Scientists/researchers working on the bird flu - I don't think most of you are looking for interviews on Tumblr, but if you do fit that criteria, I'm very interested!

Animal welfare advocates/those who have experience with humane culling practices

Those with chicken/turkey farming experience (particularly ex or current commercial farmers, bonus points if you've experienced bird flu in your flocks)

Researchers who have worked with chickens/turkeys, regardless of specific bird flu experience

Anybody pigeon related - there's a pigeon portion to one of these pieces. Especially interested in folks raising their pigeons as livestock/for profit.

If you think you have a unique angle but you don't fit the above criteria, please do still reach out - just let me know what you think you can contribute so I can determine if you're a fit. Please DM me with your email, and I will reach out to you.

This post is being made May 31st, 2024, and will be taken down shortly afterwards. This is a time sensitive piece, since bird flu developments are happening rapidly. If you see this post via reblogs/etc after June 2nd, 2024, please know that I am no longer looking for interviewees at this time. Thank you!

Poultry Tribune magazine - July 1936.

He arrived over 10 years ago....

... a very small Pyncheon rooster.

We named him Quilt, and he was perfect. He went for walks, took care of his hens (most popular rooster on the place!) and kept us all entertained with his opinionated observations.

He ruled the hen yard fairly and with a light touch, and was well behaved on his many sojourns into the house.

(Quilt joining us in a game of Wingspan. In his estimation the eggs were very puny. His girls laid much nicer ones.)

Yesterday he left us, quietly and without fanfare. He was old and it was his time. His favourite hen was at his side. He will be sorely missed.
