Disease Alert: Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza

The CFIA has released important information regarding the continuing avian influenza outbreak in Canada, which poses a risk not only to poultry producers, but also to small flock, pet birds and wild birds.

Please read the CFIA’s Notice for full details.
https://files.constantcontact.com/03b45b1b501/a66afb0b-7222-44c5-94a5-1be703997053.pdf
The BC Ministry of Agriculture & Food has released its own update, providing BC-specific information, including notification of restrictions on movement of birds within the province.

Please read the Ministry’s Notice for full details.
https://files.constantcontact.com/03b45b1b501/ebcdb501-d7d9-4349-b943-4634dc5866ee.pdf
Taking down bird feeders (including those for hummingbirds) and emptying bird baths in order to prevent congregation of wild birds may be helpful in reducing transmission of Avian Influenza.

Thank-you,
