BANGKOK, THAILAND: Tropical macaw birds are on display at a zoo in Bangkok, 28 July 2004. The battle against bird flu was beyond some Asian nations who face living long-term with the lethal virus that has killed 24 people, a meeting of experts was told 28 July. Almost 200 million birds have died or been culled because of the virus that spread rapidly through Asia this year and new outbreaks have shown the crisis is far from over, UN officials told a meeting in Bangkok.
