BIRD FLU INFORMATION AND PLAN

Being a rescue with wild birds, we have to take avian influenza extremely seriously! Should we take in a bird that has bird flu, we risk all of our birds being culled by DEFRA, something we’re not prepared to risk!

You can report dead birds to DEFRA via their online form OR by calling them (03459 33 55 77) them should you find:

• 1 or more dead birds of prey (such as an owl, hawk or buzzard)

• 3 or more dead birds that include at least 1 gull, swan, goose or duck

• 5 or more dead wild birds of any species

You can use this service to report other types or numbers of dead wild birds.

Do not touch dead wild birds
