Bird flu

Although bird flu can pass from birds to humans, this happens very rarely as it requires extremely close contact with infected birds. Therefore, at this stage, bird flu has only extremely limited implications for human health.

To report large numbers of dead or dying birds call 08459 33 55 77. For more information visit the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) website.
