I do not believe so. To the best of my knowledge, you have to come into direct contact with the infected bird.

ANSWER:

Its very possible. Bird flu can be caught from the feces of a diseased bird. If a bird with bird flu has pooped on the sprouted weeds, then it can be transmitted to you. The odds are slim though. Just dont touch any bird poop with your bare hands and wash hands afterwards.
