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!

Pigeon Aziraphale \0/
I wanted to draw him as a bird for a while and when @katiefrog217 mentionned Lahores being a fitting breed I couldn't resist!
I owned a few and they're so fun!! And pretty!
