The Minnesota Board of Animal Health ordered Friday that all bird exhibitions at the Minnesota State Fair, county fairs and other gatherings be canceled to minimize the risk of spreading avian influenza.

Board of Animal Health Assistant Director Dr. Beth Thompson said in a statement that the ban would prevent birds mingling at the events from further spreading the virus, which has led to the deaths of millions chickens and turkeys this season.
