soapdragon Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Have just seen a 'post' on MSM regarding a confirmed case of bird flu in Scotland. Not sure how that affects us sassenachs (or, indeed, if it does yet)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Says "undisclosed location" which sounds daft! Unless it might be a small farm? No restriction zones in place either and it sounds like it was discovered a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Yes, all very sketchy but there has been an escalation in cases on mainland Europe, so it'd be best to be watchful. The peak time for infection is during actual migration, but we still need to be on alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat tails Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Apparently a bird with the H5N8 was found in a backyard flock in Germany. We will have a commercial lockdown from 00:00 tonight. No restrictions for non-commercial birds yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
