Important Information From Shropshire Council Re: Avian Influenza

Avian Influenza Poster

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.
