There may not be any scientific reasons behind these bans on bird hunting in this growing list of countries, but it is certainly worth noting.
There are also bans on waterfowl hunting in Turkey enacted.
The first item, in Iran which includes a ban on wild boar hunting is interesting, but does express how bans can expand, without any sound research or science behind them.

LONDON, November 2 (IranMania) - Iran's Environmental Protection Organisation has banned bird and wild fowl hunting in the north of the country in a bid to prevent the spread of bird flu, Iranian media said.
The reports said religious minorities have also been temporarily barred from hunting wild boars, which are found in northern Iran's forest and mountains, AFP reported.

SAGADA, Mt. Province (27 October) -- Local officials temporarily banned "ikik" or bird hunting in this town for fear of catching migratory birds that could be carriers of the bird flu virus.
Sangguniang Bayan Resolution No. 48-05 prohibits all forms of bird hunting particularly "ikik" in the municipality of Sagada for 10 months starting August 2005 to May 2006.

Armenia bans bird hunting trying to prevent bird flu
15:31 2005-10-27
Armenia will ban bird hunting as of next week in an effort to prevent the spread of bird flu in the country, according to the Environment Ministry.
Hunting is usually prohibited from Dec. 31, but the government moved the date forward to Tuesday to coincide with the winter migration of wild birds southward.
There have been no known cases of bird flu in Armenia, though the government is working on preventative measures, Agriculture Minister David Lokian told parliament.
In the meantime Armenia has suspended poultry imports from Russia, Romania, Turkey, Iran and Southeast Asia - where bird flu has either been found or suspected.
"The measures taken to prevent the appearance and spread of this disease in Armenia are very effective, and the population can calmly consume poultry and eggs," the AP quoted ministry adviser Anushavan Agadzhanian as saying.

AGRICULTURE Minister Zsolt Simon on Sunday imposed a ban on bird hunting in Slovakia, apart from organised culls of wild birds aimed at monitoring the spread of bird flu, the TASR news wire reported.
Simon also banned poultry and other bird shows in response to concerns over the bird flu virus, which has been found recently in Turkey, Romania, Britain and Croatia after spreading from the far east. The Agriculture Ministry has also banned all racing-pigeon competitions in Slovakia.
Owners of poultry have been ordered to restrict contact between wild and domestic birds by moving their stock into buildings or protecting them with nets.

ROSTOV-ON-DON, November 23 (RIA Novosti) - A suspected outbreak of bird flu has hit the Astrakhan Region in southern Russian, a local official said Wednesday.
The spokesman said that quarantine had not yet been imposed, as bird flu must still be confirmed in the blood of two dead swans. However, he added that the regional authorities had banned duck hunting.
