ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Four peacocks and a goose have died of the H5N1 strain of bird flu in the only zoo in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, an Agriculture Ministry official said on Tuesday.

"We conducted tests and they were all positive for H5N1," Mohammad Afzal, livestock commissioner at the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, told Reuters.

It was the fourth case of the H5N1 strain of bird flu detected in Pakistan this year. The H5N1 strain was first found in poultry last year and it reappeared in poultry this month.
