Good morning and welcome to Kid News, I'm Kim, today is Thursday, October 27th, 2022.

And we begin with a bad case of the bird flu threatening the centerpiece of your Thanksgiving

meal.

The Washington Post reports a particularly contagious form of avian influenza is infecting turkey

flocks all over the country and reducing total turkey production by about 14%.

That in addition to pandemic-related supply and labor shortages, inflation and drought

will likely make the birds harder to find and more expensive than ever.

Some estimates say prices could rise about 20%.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the avian flu is not a threat to humans,

and retailers say those who want a Thanksgiving turkey can get one.

They advise shoppers to plan early, especially those looking for a specific size or style.

You knew her voice, but not her name, until now.

Canadian Radiohost and podcaster Kat Callahan just revealed she's one of the most popular

On TikTok, of course.

In her reveal, which itself has gone viral, she says, for a long time, I didn't say a word.

But yes, it's me.

And added, sometimes you guys make me say some pretty horrendous things.

It's pretty messed up, but I kind of think it's funny.

Callahan joke that TikTok users are probably sick of her voice by now and confess that

she is too.
