Bird Fl

Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 has been confirmed at a premises near Kirriemuir, Angus. A 3km Protection Zone and a 10km Surveillance Zone have been put in place. All bird keepers should remain vigilant and follow stringent biosecurity measures to prevent future outbreaks.

A regional Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) with mandatory biosecurity and housing measures is also in place across:

• The East Riding of Yorkshire

• The City of Kingston upon Hull

• Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.

All bird keepers in the AIPZ must keep their birds housed to protect them from bird flu. This applies to pet birds, commercial flocks and just a few birds in a backyard flock. These housing and biosecurity measures are to mitigate the risk of further outbreaks of disease occurring.
