Housing measures to protect poultry & captive birds from #AvianInfluenza are being extended and will be in force across England from 00:01 07 Nov 2022. This means that, from this time, it is a mandatory requirement for all bird keepers across England to keep their birds housed, or where this is not practical, to take steps to separate them from wild birds. Keeping your birds undercover away from wild birds is vital to minimise the risk of them becoming infected with #AvianInf

4:16pm, 12 January 2018 DEFRA have declared a Prevention Zone in areas of South Dorset - imposing requirements on all bird keepers - after bird flu has been found in wild birds in that area. #BirdFlu #AvianInfluenza
