In my novel Flight of the Goose (published in 2005) the Birdman laments that he foresees a time when wild migratory fowl will be blamed for the spread of bird flu and that humans will demonize the flocks and try to exterminate them. He was prescient about many things, as was his lover the shamaness, though they often disagreed.
btw Another thing he envisioned (his waking nightmare in a fever dream) was that humans and their Big Oil would utterly destroy the ecosystem causing an End Times such as prophesied by old Inuit shamans.
