  1. Ducks, geese, swans, and egrets have been known to carry the influenza viruses (and to have died from them.)

    This is a good article from the World Health Organization, which would be considered a primary source,, written 02-06:

    Here's another article which details the migration routes with the distribution of the disease, and has links to other interesting articles. It appears much of the information is a few years old though.

  2. blue jays and crow families seem to be the most susceptible to the disease the crow is the only migratory of the two ,other birds have had the disease but not entirely known the full biology of the disease
