At the moment, you get it through contact with infected chickens, very close contact with very sick people, bird droppings in the environment and, apparently, gloves.
Gloves being the official explanation on how two children in Turkey got the virus. They "played" with the gloves after their father used them to remove of chickens from their coop for culling.

OK, I have a bunch of birds and other pets too.
I'll just have to quarantine any new arrivals :)
