If you keep birds — or find dead ones
- Register your birds with APHA — since October 2024 every poultry keeper in Great Britain must, even with one bird — so you get zone alerts.
- Report suspicion of bird flu in kept birds to the Defra Rural Services Helpline, 03000 200 301 (Wales 0300 303 8268; Scotland: your local Field Services Office).
- Found dead wild birds (swans, geese, ducks, gulls or birds of prey)? Do not touch them; report on GOV.UK or call 03459 33 55 77.
- The risk to the public is very low; cooked poultry and eggs are safe to eat.
What this page shows, and what it misses
Protection (3 km) and surveillance (10 km) zones around confirmed bird flu cases in kept birds in Great Britain, from APHA's public zone map; the location check asks APHA's map directly. Prevention zones and housing orders cover larger areas and are announced on GOV.UK, gov.scot and gov.wales. Northern Ireland has its own service (DAERA). The official notice for each case sets the exact rules.
