(sorry for the late reply)

Aren’t these birds safe now, since they have recovered from the flu?

No

we don’t quarantine people permanently after they recover from the flu

Correct, and we also don’t have cull orders for humans.

Insisting they still be culled at this point serves only to set an example

Incorrect. This flock is compromised and is putting humans and other birds at risk

the infectious window’s “ship has sailed”, has it not?

No

But the animals don’t need to suffer at this point do they?

Right, they don’t need to suffer. They need to be either absolutely quarantined or destroyed. The owners are making zero effort to quarantine the birds, so it’s on them that the only option is culling.

I don't claim to be a veterinarian, doctor or flu expert, so if what you say is true and they are still a risk to spread avian flu to other animals then I agree, sadly they need to be culled. I was under the impression that the virus would have burned itself out among the flock if it were isolated all this time. But if they weren't being isolated all this time then that's not a valid premise.
