Avian influenza (bird flu) is a disease of birds.
The H5N8 strain of the disease has been confirmed at a poultry farm in Lincolnshire, at a premises in Carmarthenshire, Wales, and at a premises near Settle in North Yorkshire, and restrictions are in place. The same strain has also been found in wild birds in England, Scotland and Wales. Risks to public health are very low and avian flu does not pose a food safety risk for UK consumers. We have taken several actions to reduce the risks and help protect poultry and captive birds from avian flu.
If you keep poultry – whether on a commercial scale or simply a small backyard flock – you are now required by law to house them (keep them under cover) or otherwise keep them separate from wild birds. This requirement (the Prevention Zone) has now been extended until 28 February 2017. We have also banned gatherings of poultry across the UK.
All poultry keepers must continue to keep a close watch on the health of their birds, and take steps to reduce the risk of infection via the environment, for example in wild bird droppings, by practicing good biosecurity. You should do this even if your birds are inside.
