Bird avian flu notice🐓
Have you seen the recent rules that make it a legal requirement for everyone in Great Britain who keeps birds outdoors to register with the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA)?
You can find more details here: guidance-for-registration-of-kept-birds-sept-2024.pdf (bva.co.uk)
New mandatory bird registration: what do keepers need to know – Government Vets (blog.gov.uk)
The rules apply to poultry and other captive birds including pets and aviary birds.
You do not need to register indoor birds such as budgies, parrots, cockatiels and finches if they are fully housed in a dwelling (your home or another indoor structure) and with no access to the open air.
