The ban is for the capital province Jakarta as well as West Java and Banten which are very highly populated areas where these people lived closely to the sick birds.

The Jakarta government asked the Jakarta City Council as well as the provincial parliaments of West Java and Banten to endorse the ban through local legislation.

Last week four Indonesians died of the bird flu after the country has five weeks without a death.

Many urban areas have backyard chicken farms in neighborhoods which could easily spread the bird flu virus among the poulty and humans.
