   By the time I catch it, stuff it in a plastic bag, and tie it up, it will be dead.

   It makes sense, given the occasional bird flu-fueled bird culling.

   I know what the Chinese says. It really means “dead birds”.

   The translation is correct.

   The Chinese text says: “Used for disposal of dead birds”

   The small text at the bottom looks like 旺角街市組示

   According to CEDICT, it means “Mong Kok Market group show”

   Wow. Must be a pigeon shooting ground.

   PS. The Chinese says exactly what the English says. It’s not a typo

    They could really do with these in Manchester city centre at the weekends…The number of women who do themselves in through binge drinking is just unbelievable!

    Well…the word is correct. It is really used to dispose dead birds (or to be more accurate, poultry), to prevent the spread of avian flu. The little words at the right lower corner says, “Notice by Mong Kok Market (administration) team”. Mong Kok is a place in Hong Kong.

    In Hong Kong, live poultry is being sold in markers (althogh it is being rare now because of (over-reaction to) avian flu.

    ….I meant “live poultry is being sold in markets” not “live poultry is being sold in markers”. There was a typo.

    Some more clarification. In Hong Kong, live poultry is being sold in markets, althogh it is being rare now because of (over-reaction to) avian flu. Occationally those poultry dies in the shop before they are being sold (and slaughtered immediately). Those bird corpse needs proper disposal to prevent the possible spread of avian flu, so those “dead bird” bins are set up.

    Some more clarification. In Hong Kong, live poultry are being sold in markets. They are slaughtered immediately after a customer pays for them. However,it is becoming rare now because of (over-reaction to) avian flu, pre-slaughered poultry is sold now in most places. There are only hundreds of shops that sells live poultry, as opposed thouhsands in the past.
