Due to the increase in cases across England and the outbreak of Highly
Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Shropshire, APHA has introduced MANDATORY
HOUSING MEASURES in Shropshire from Monday the 27th of January.
This means that all bird keepers in Shropshire must keep their birds
housed until the housing measures are lifted. This applies to poultry
and other birds kept in captivity including chickens, ducks, geese, and
other exotic captive birds.
