Saw something mentioned that once it jumps to pigs is when it can really become a problem. We must protect Stormy.

There are more zoonotic infections from pigs than cats and cows, so maybe. But, given the way most pigs for food are raised indoors (at least in the US), I think the bird to pig to human transmission route may not be as much of a risk as one from other livestock that have more interaction with wild birds.

Being made into a tasty sandwich with a nice Mustard sauce is pretty safe if you ask me.
Mustard?
