Based on a recent avian influenza SI-SIR model with logistic growth for birds, we propose a stochastic model with generalized incidence rate. For the stochastic avian-only system, sufficient conditions for the extinction of infected birds are established, and the existence of a unique ergodic stationary distribution is also obtained. For the stochastic avian-human system, a threshold number  is established, and hence the extinction of disease is investigated. From the viewpoint of biology, the noise intensity in the infected birds plays a key role in the evolutionary dynamics. Moreover, we also analyze the asymptotic behavior around the endemic equilibrium of the corresponding deterministic model. %K Avian Influenza %K Extinction %K Ergodic Stationary Distribution %K Asymptotic Behavior %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=100478
