It's unlikely. Most of the major "uber infectious" influenza strains don't emerge via ordinary mutation (antigenic drift) but the reassortment of two viral genomes that have infected the same host (antigenic shift). Given pigs and wild birds aren't social distancing, there's no reason to believe there's a distinctly high amount of additional pressure one way or the other.
