I got a CPH number for the 50 birds plus but still heard nothing yet.
Do they have a mobile No for you.

Unfortunately this is hear to stay and will be a threat every year, at some point they will make the decision that all our birds need vaccinating.
Yes Andy, even if you have just one bird kept "outside" you now need a CPH number, not sure about being able to buy rings but you certainly won't legally be able to race or show without a CPH number.
Yes Goose, APHA are part of DEFRA and it is them you should hear from.
Trev you mention vaccination, when you fly from over the channel, you must sign on your form for every race, that your birds are not vaccinated against Avian flue.

A farm worker in England has tested positive for bird flu after catching the virus from an infected flock.

The person in the West Midlands case is understood to have symptoms, but is said to be well and being monitored at a specialist infectious disease hospital ward.

The farm worker is the seventh person to test positive for bird flu in the UK since 2021 and only the second symptomatic infection. All people caught the virus from being in close contact with birds.
Sadies Lofts home of decent birds just a useless loft manager, and now a confirmed loser but proud :D :D
