Newcastle disease

And it is not a variety of miner's asthma, or a dearth of beverage. It is an avian virus. Symptoms: "Respiratory: sneezing, gasping for air, nasal discharge, coughing
Digestive: greenish, watery diarrhea
Nervousness, depression, muscular tremors, drooping wings, twisting of head and neck, circling, complete paralysis."

I could have sworn I saw several winged cherubs exhibiting those symptoms shortly after Valentine's day.

I just heard it mentioned on Mike Rowe's Dirty Jobs.
