⚠️ Avian Influenza update ⚠️
There has been confirmed positive cases of bird flu in Milton Keynes’ parks. Please help us to avoid the spread by following this advice:
👉 Keep to foothpaths, with dogs on leads in areas with wildfowl
👉 Do not feed the waterfowl - this encourages the birds to gather, increasing the risk of the virus spreading
👉 Do not pick up or touch dead or sick wild birds
👉 Do not touch feathers or surfaces where there are bird droppings
👉 If you keep poultry or other birds, wash your hands, and disinfect your footwear before tending your birds.
Please report any sightings of dead birds in our parks to us, on [email protected] or 01908 233600 and we will arrange removal and contact the relevant agencies.
We are monitoring the situation carefully and are following the latest Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) guidance.
