GSPCA Issues Avian Flu Advice for Bird Owners in Guernsey
With confirmed cases of Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) continuing to rise across the UK and Europe, the GSPCA is urging all bird owners in Guernsey to take extra precautions to protect their poultry, pet birds, and the wild birds that visit their gardens.
Pigeon Paramyxovirus has been confirmed in Guernsey. This follows investigations by the States Veterinary Officers into the high numbers of diseased pigeons from St. Peter Port that have been hospitalised at the GSPCA.
Last week the GSPCA reported on the huge increase in deceased and sick pigeons especially from the St Peter Port area - http://www.gspca.org.gg/blog/important-message-gspca-sharp-increase-sick-and-injured-pigeons
The UK have issued this advice to poultry owners - https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-measures-to-protect-poultry-against-avian-flu
At the GSPCA we are awaiting to hear on any local guidance from the Guernsey States Vet in the light of Avian Flu in Europe.
