Weather warnings are in place for parts of the UK which can worsen #birdflu spread. Where birds are housed, block up holes to keep #floodwater out, ensure tarpaulin is secured & strengthen areas on #bird housing. Clean & disinfect areas exposed to flood water.

Poor biosecurity is a key reason for your birds to get #birdflu. Keep your birds separate from wild birds and wild waterfowl. Fence off standing water or ponds and if possible, cover with netting. Check our guidance for further ways to protect your birds: https://t.co/dnrdZGQfBg
