Another suspected case of H5 avian influenza was found in Hong Kong, the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department announced Thursday.

It said that preliminary test of a peregrine falcon found in Tsuen Wan showed H5 virus positive and more tests are needed to be done to confirm. The bird was found sick and later died in an animal center under the department.
