Kerala reports 11 H5N1 bird flu outbreaks

India reported 11 outbreaks of a serious type of bird flu called H5N1 in the state of Kerala.

This bird flu can make birds very sick and has been a problem around the world.

The outbreaks were found on farms, and many birds died or were put down to stop the flu from spreading.

The first outbreaks were found on December 9 and confirmed on December 22.

This is the first time since May that bird flu has been reported in poultry in India.

Governments and the chicken industry are worried because bird flu can affect the food supply and sometimes make people sick too.
