LCA Classic & Avian-influenza-prevention-zone biosecurity measures stipulated by DEFRA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You may be aware that there are some areas within the UK that have Avian flu restrictions imposed. The link below will take you to the live map of those areas.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/defra.maps.arcgis.com\/apps\/webappviewer\/index.html?id=8cb1883eda5547c6b91b5d5e6aeba90d<\/a><\/p>\n

Note \u2013 this map is changing everyday so please continue to check daily.<\/p>\n

So, what does this mean for the LCA Classic?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>We are continuing to accept all entries for the LCA Classic but if you are in a protection or surveillance zone at the time of the Classic we cannot accept your birds at the show. This is because under the declaration of a protection or surveillance zone you cannot move birds unless approved by a VET. If this is the case please let us know and we will send your cheque\/online payment back to you.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>A condition of entry of birds into the Classic by any exhibitor in an AIPZ is that all enhanced biosecurity measures stipulated by DEFRA have been complied with.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following link explains the conditions you must meet if you live in one of these areas. If you have less than 500 captive birds at your home address, then schedules 1 & 3 apply. Please note that although many of the requirements are targeted on poultry keepers, they apply to all captive birds, including canaries. The key elements are all to do with sensible hygiene and management of your birds and reducing the risk of infection.<\/p>\n
