Avian Flu, Neighbors Still Have Birds Out
Discussion
We spoke to him when the prevention zone was first announced and he was rudely not interested, TBH he is a bit of a A**hole so dont really want anything more to do with him.
However, his duck pond and 5-10 ducks are all out and about while my chickens are housed in our stables about 20m away and through a hedge.
I'm worried that, if (and I realise it is a big if) this flu situation gets bad and he gets infected, that our flock would have to be culled too. A wild bird was recently found with H5N8 in Somerset, just a few miles form us.
Should I snitch on him, leading to a potential 5k fine and 3 months in prison? Anyone have an e-mail address that will get the men in white bio-suits visiting?
