China said Tuesday it has resettled as many as 250 rare ibis atop a remote mountain, seeking to protect the endangered birds from the avian flu plaguing the nation's poultry flocks.

"The best protection is to keep them far enough from villages and other poultry and animals," said Wang Wanyun, a forestry official in the central province of Shaanxi.

The ibis had been living in a wildlife care center but they were moved after bird flu was detected in poultry in Shaanxi's provincial capital, about 60 miles away.

There are only about 500 ibis in China.
