Avian influenza situation update
May 2024
We are actively monitoring disease spread, particularly towards the Ross Sea region in Antarctica and globally. We’re talking regularly with colleagues around the world so we can learn as much as we can about how the disease is behaving as it spreads, and what other countries are doing to manage the disease.
If you see 3 or more sick or dead wild birds in a group, report it to us immediately on freephone 0800 80 99 66.
Do not handle the birds.
