I'm guessing that the stock markets will crash if there is a bird flu pandemic. Are there any investments that will increase or retain most of their value in such a situation?

When the markets opened a few days after 9/11, they tanked in general. There was no good reason for this in most cases and the markets rebounded in a few days or weeks to their historic levels.
Any good company that is not directly affected by a bird flu outbreak would be a good bet since there is no good market reason for their stock price to dive, aside from market inertia.
I made a ton of money after 9/11 simply by buying a block of stocks in several companies that had no good reason for their price drop and then dumped them a few weeks later when they rebounded to near pre-9/11 levels. The cardinal rule is to buy when everyone else is selling and sell when everyone else is buying. Warren Buffet's advice; there's none better!
