Three posters for land managers and local authorities to use in areas when there’s a risk of bird flu.
Poster 1: bird flu has been detected in this area, don’t risk spreading it
This poster says:
- keep to the footpath, with dogs on leads
- do not pick up or touch dead or sick wild birds
- do not touch wild bird feathers or surfaces contaminated with wild bird droppings
- if you keep poultry or other birds, wash your hands and clean and disinfect your footwear before tending to your birds
If you find any dead wild birds please report online or call the Defra helpline on 03459 33 55 77.
APHA may collect some dead birds for surveillance testing. Otherwise, birds can be disposed of safely, if necessary, by the local authority or landowners.
