Bulgaria has heightened safety controls after its neighbors Turkey and Romania reported suspected cases of bird flu.
Authorities said they had discovered three dead birds in different areas of the Pleven region, about 100 kilometers from Bulgaria's Danube River border with Romania, and had sent them to Sofia for tests.
Bulgarian authorities said their tests were simply a result of stricter controls and that the birds could have died from a variety of causes.
