Keep your birds safe from H5 bird flu

H5 bird flu can spread between wild birds and backyard flocks and can cause serious illness or death in birds.

This resource gives simple steps to protect your flock: keep wild birds out, keep cages and equipment clean, and wash your hands before and after handling birds and eggs. It also lists signs to watch for, such as weakness, breathing problems or a drop in eggs. If you see sick or dead animals, report them to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline.
