MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Mexico is banning poultry imports from Arkansas because of a bird flu outbreak.
Mexico's Agriculture Department says poultry meat, fertilized eggs, song birds and messenger pigeons are banned indefinitely.
Avian influenza cases led to the destruction of 15,000 hens in western Arkansas earlier this month. The virus strain was not harmful to humans.
