The work of the charity has been hit by the bird flu restrictions. But now things are easing in time for spring.
AVIAN INFLUENZA – OUR POSITION
At the time of writing it has just been announced that avian flu restrictions, first put in place in December, are to be relaxed from February 28.
On the face of it, this sounds like great news. Of course, in part, it is, but there remain many restrictions on what we are able to do as a charity. We have already postponed all rehomings for a three-month period and are facing more uncertainty given that some of the farms we work with remain in ‘high risk’ areas.
