So how did it go from birds to cows? Did they milk a bird

One thing that can happen is a genetic sequence can mutate in a simple way that allows it to do something else. For example, a protein that produces galactase is common to a bunch of bacteria and allows them to digest the sugar galactose. If that sequence of DNA mutates in a common way, like you have 1 nucleotide change, maybe now it makes a slightly different protein that allows it to digest lactose. So basically you can have these mutations that are almost setup to happen.

We had to do this in a biology class I took. You plate up some bacteria on one sugar and then slowly change them over to another sugar and sure enough every single student's colonies mutated to digest the new sugar when initially they couldn't do it.

It's going to mutate to get more and more virulent, and eventually the mortality rate will start to drop so it doesn't kill off all of it's hosts

The weather's turned colder here in Australia and the wild birds I feed in my backyard all just got a lot needier. One of them actually perched on my hand this morning to nibble on a piece of fruit. :3:

I'm probably going to be patient zero if bird flu hits Australia

seeing parallel and convergent evolution of similar traits in disparate populations indicates there's a common "easy" I. E. energy efficient path that in this case is inclusive of novel hosts

Remember that like covid, with functionally limitless hosts (the world's birds, more or less, and now other animals) anything humans observe that rises above background noise is tautologically the most evolutionarily fit version.
