Avian Influenza and Biosecurity Checklist for Bird Keepers
Page Content
Bird owners should adopt simple biosecurity measures to prevent wild birds gaining access and contaminating the food and water supply of their birds with droppings. This will protect the birds from a range of health risks, not just Avian Influenza.
It is strongly recommended that drinking water supplied to birds should be either:
- treated (chlorinated) mains water
- high quality bore water
- water treated with chlorine from other sources
