Housing our birds is now mandatory

Due to the risk of avian influenza, new housing measures to protect poultry and captive birds will come into force on 14 December in England, Scotland and Wales. It will be a legal requirement for all bird keepers to keep their birds indoors and to follow strict biosecurity measures.

We must house our birds in England, Scotland and Wales. The Animal & Plant Health Agency (APHA) have stated that all bird keepers should use the next few days to make the necessary preparations.
